HoustonSkin Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I don't know if where the seafood I eat at restaurants is from, but I've eaten plenty over the last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoEd Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Sometimes I am so jealous of Southern cooking. They really have a dream cuisine down there. Various fried meats, collard greens, catfish, gumbo, barbecueIf you are in the South you must be one lucky son of a gun I'll be moving to Dover AFB in August. When I make it to the ES tailgate I plan on bringing some homemade gumbo and some of my barbecue, if you're there, I'll hook a brother up. I might be a Yankee but I've lived in the South long enough to throw down with the best of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I dont think we get much seafood from the Gulf up here in NY. But if i had the choice i prob wouldn't......but again if you put a big lobster in front of me id prob eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 And I used to buy the easy-peel from Costco all the time. Now I find out all their shrimp is from Vietnam or Thailand. Eff all that. I'll only buy east coast shrimp from now on (NC or VA). Wait... what?Why would seafood from Vietnam or Thailand suddenly be different this year? Maybe he is a fan of sustainable food / local food practicesEat local Or maybe he was referring to these seafood practices from Asia : http://www.vimeo.com/11817894 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Here's some pictures of what they're catching off the piers there. It certainly looks tasty http://www.nwfdailynews.com/sections/slideshow/?id=8012759 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Are those barricuda? Wahoo? I saw them for sale in St. Lucia, but Ive never had one (barricuda) myself. Very boney fish. Bonier then even freshwater fish like pike or walleye. I could be wrong though, but some of those pics look like barricuda to me. Where is this pier? Lots of nice sized fish, and somewhat of a variety as well. I would have been happy catching that flounder, it used to be my favorate fish to eat. Flounder stuffed with crabmeat. Oh well for me.

Cool as Crud Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I live in New Orleans, and eat gulf seafood several times a week. All the seafood caught down here right now is great quality and perfectly safe. The only problem is that in some areas, the seafood population has not recovered and/or is still too small to be worth catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 look like Spanish mackerel,good eating Cool, thanks for clearing that up. Ive never caught one before, so yeah I was grasping. Some of them are lunkers. The black tipped shark was the coolest catch in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cobia ought to be running now with the mackerel ya got to soak it in milk or 7 up to mellow it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The Cobia ought to be running nowwith the mackerel ya got to soak it in milk or 7 up to mellow it out I caught a Cobia under the Midnight Pass bridge in Sarasota once. What a fight! When I was pulling it in, I saw that flat, almost shark like head and I thought it was a shark. teh old man fishing next to me told me what it was and that it was great eating too. I landed a fifteen pounder and gave it to him because we already had a bunch of Snook. Is the mackerel really that fishy tasting? I marinade bass in milk and melted butter, and catfish too if Im going to end up frying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
