Hmm, seafood on a boat. Can it get any fresher than that?

Back in 2008 we had made plans to attend the Due South convention. It was the first one in 10 years, since the series had been canceled. Leona Farkle was a big fan but was living in Florida when the show was running, so attending back then wasn't gonna happen, and I have to admit it did have clever writing which is a rarity on television. But I digress...
So, upon our planning our trip we discovered that a vintage motor court was to be torn down to make room for condominiums. It had been a shooting location for over 100 movie and television productions. The convention was scheduled for August, but the motor court would be gone by then, so the next thing you know we're heading up in January. It was really, really cold, but what we won't do in the name of waymarking.
Incidently, the motel owners told us that their neon sign was going to be saved and places in a neon garden. Just what we need is another excuse to go back.
So anyways, where was I?
Oh yeah, Captain John's Harbour Boat Restaurant. We happened to find this place while we were making our way along the harbor. Looked cool, but unfortunately whenever I see a seafood restaurant I start playing "Mercy Mercy Me" in my head.
