I found that burning Inscence was the only way to kill the smell

I don't have a favorite way in all reality...it depends on my mood for what I am hungry for I guess.... I have eaten everyway possible from raw to blackened and everywhere inbetween.
I know that you overlooked one way of fixing them.....

Smoked! smoked salmon is AWESOME....so are smoked bluefish ( if you like smoke mullet you will throw it away, for smoked bluefish!!!) smoked makeral is good too!!!

Most other fish depending on the size, I marinade them and grill them or marinade and bake them...
Or else season them and soak them in lemon juice and then batter and fry them and serve up with cheese grits or french fries and coleslaw.

Anyone (besides me) ever had rock shrimp? St.Mary's Ga is having the annual Rock Shrimp Festival on the First Saturday of Oct.... bring an appetite! Rock shrimp are different from regular shrimp different flavor.


My SOS shrimp on the grill are hard to beat... but I love shrimp tempura too, and boiled ones for peel and eat.

Then there are kabobs....with shrimp or scallops or..... I prefer the sea scallops over the calicos.

Then there is the "low country boil"!

It is September ...Oysters are getting good ( Yeah I know you can eat them year round ) Nothing like a good oyster roast with good friends and
plenty of fixins and beverages....around a fire on a cool or cold night!
( I usually cook a few clams too while I am at it)

The steamer clams steamed with buter lemon juice and garlic to dip them in...chowder clams chopped up in chowder or fritters or sliced into strips....
Lobster and stone crab steamed.... butter, lemon,juice, garlic to dip them in, and a few dashes of hot sauce added if one prefers.......blue crab steamed or boiled...

Anyone besides me, eat mudbugs? Fix em up in a low country boil.....and even tossed some in a smoker and they were quite tasty!!

BTW....Never eat seafood in a sushi restuarant that is next to a bait shop..... "Yesterday's bait, Today's plate!"

I was in Seafood for years and years

each fish has one way or another that
is the Best



BTW Those in the West/Pacific area

there is a fish that has four very diffrent tastes depending on which
part of the fish it is from..








Opah MMMMM

I think we call them sunfish back east here...one of the longline boats caught one of those not to long ago...weird looking things...


What did you do in seafood???

Rule of thumb for raw oysters is to only eat them in months that have an R in them.... Water is colder and less chance of them being spoiled before shucking!

I can't wait.... I love raw oysters!!! And most fish... broiled, baked, grilled, fried.... just not in stick form! Yuk!!!

A person that sold them, told me the rule of thumb came about before modern refrigeration, oysters being oysters tend to spoil quickly and no way to transport them or keep them safe for consumption.....

I have to agree with you! Cold water ones are the best! I have eaten them in June .... but not again.... they just did not have the flavor of the cold water ones.

I don't think I have heard anything about the oyster beds and Katrina.... I know I am confident I don't want any oysters from La anytime soon...

I thought the rule was that you could only drink gin & tonic in a month that doesn't have an "R" in it.

Summer mths? Hmmm and the theory behind that would be?

[buffettbride]

I haven't read back. Have we discussed shellfish yet?

I don't eat a lot of fish 'cause hubby won't touch it, but I LOVE lobster and crab legs. Kinda middle of the road on shrimp because it all depends how it's prepared.

No its not included on this thread...although oysters were brought up... Maybe Tiki will start another on shell fish!

Gin & tonic is a summer drink, the only months without R's are May, June, July & August.

That would be a wonderful idea.

Never really had a lot of oysters. Not a widely available dish here in Colorado.

I used to drink Gin... but I didnt know that.....

Stuffed and grilled. Either mountain trout, flounder, or grouper.
Staff's restaurant in Ft. Walton has the best stuffed flounder.

The Brits invented Gin, and provide especially-good mosquito targets. Mosquitos fly in summer. Gin makes you care less about the itching. Quinine in the tonic water helps with the malaria.
