Dockside Dave...hmmmmmm! Where would one start?Dave was born out of wedlock and
stranded by his mother on Egmont Key. She had left him for six men in a John Boat
headed to Cabbage Key. As a boy Dave fended for himself and became one with
Grouper. When Dave was a boy he learned great respect of nature and survival. He swam
daily with the black and red grouper and they treated him like their own. One day a large
Gag wouldn't share any shrimp with Dave. Dave was angry, hungry and desperate for
food. He then decided he was sick of fighting for food with the Grouper and he decided
they tasted better than the shrimp. He had betrayed his only known family. He didn't care,
he dreamed of the buttery taste of Grouper and soon became known as the pillager of the
sea. One day while salivating for his dinner of fresh cut grouper along came a boat with a
fiesty young man named Electronica, a fisherman who had the ability to mesmorize the
sea creators with his gyrating hips.  He would dance and hypnotize the fish thus taking
food from Dockside Dave.  Dave was taken back by this peculiar method of fishing.  They
soon became famous friends and decided to team up with their catch of the day.  As you
know, this is the first human contact Dave has encountered.  He didn't know how to
behave.  Electronica spoke of women and Dave dreamed of escaping the island in
search of women and big ripe tomatoes that Electronica spoke of and how good they
would be with grouper.  And thus the grouper sandwich was born with the big ripe
tomato.  Dockside Dave became ever so greedy and still pillaged the sea and now
women as well.  Electronica and Dave were as skilled at fishing as they were at finding
women and fathering children.  It is said to believe that Dave and Electronica had
fathered more than 50 children in 3 different countries.  Dave decided in his old age to
share his catches and open a restaurant on Madeira Beach where Electronica comes in
and works and pretends he is Dave when Dave is not there.  He thinks that one day he
will replace Dave and be head of the "The Great Grouper Mafia".  Be careful when you
see Dave, if you resemble a tomato or grouper you may be in danger (just ask Barbara).
