Fill up on tasty, summery fare before the season slips away

That’s right folks. Why let go too soon? If you’re hanging on as long as possible, a vacation might be in order. Make that a staycation. Why not “Key West, Pennsylvania,” a.k.a. Cooper’s Cabana, that fabulous fish house with the attached tiki bar overlooking none other than the scenic Susquehanna River?

By now, everybody knows the atmosphere in the addition is all kinds of funky and bright, as is the regular entertainment. But what about the food? Turns out that’s pretty good, too.

On a recent stop, we checked out the fun cabana offerings but couldn’t help crossing over into seafood-house territory. The menu, after all, told us none other than President William Jefferson Clinton himself had put his stamp of approval on stuffed jalapeno poppers ($8.50), and I, an aficionado of poppers, simply could not resist.

First, let me say the version here was advertised as different than I’m used to – coming stuffed with chicken – but still not at all what I expected. But that wasn’t a bad thing. I anticipated a round plate of six or so small breaded peppers, packing a little heat and a lot of cheese, cheddar, I hoped. Instead, I got a snack plate with three oversize – outright fat, really – fireballs, which I cut in halves to share but no one else at my table could tolerate.

So Mr. Clinton and I have that stamina in common anyway. These were indeed hot, but I refused to back down.

Besides, the shredded chicken inside was particularly fresh and tasty and left me all kinds of impressed at the basic idea, which I haven’t seen anywhere else.

Also in the way of appetizers, we shared a plate of Asian-glazed buffalo chicken bites, chosen from an extensive wings and bites menu. (Ten buffalo wings here are $6.50, and they are certainly tasty enough, but we prefer them cooked more crisply. Also, the size was impressive – another plate of plump – but sometimes smaller is more manageable.) Back to the bites. Flavors available are buffalo, ranch, barbecue, bayou, butter and garlic and Asian glazed. You get a generous sampling for $7.99, and the Asian, which were dark red and spicy but not overly so, surely hit the spot.
