southern food: seafood salad
This is another of my pescatarian recipes. It’s a great way to use leftover boiled shrimp and blue crabs. Actually, you can use any type of crabmeat in this recipe, but I think blue crabs are the tastiest of all the different varieties of crabs. In fact, I find that blue crabs are best in most of the crab recipes I make. That could just be because I’m from the South, and we can catch our own blue crabs.

Try this cocktail sauce recipe with steamed or boiled shrimp.
Delicious southern food extends far beyond fried chicken, and great southern recipes include lots more than biscuits and cornbread. The South also has fresh seafood, including shrimp, blue crabs, stone crabs, scallops, crawfish, clams, oysters, and finned fishes. Most of this seafood tastes great all by itself, but it’s often even better when served with a seafood sauce. For many folks, this means cocktail sauce.

Grilled shrimp photo by joebeone
I love grilled shrimp. In fact, I like shrimp, period, no matter how they’re cooked. Grilling shrimp is quick and easy – they cook in just a few minutes. Also the flesh of the shrimp absorbs added flavors from spices and sauces, along with some of the smoke from the grill.

Hubby's about to eat this one!
Stone crab claws are awesome, and you don’t need any complicated crab recipes to enjoy them because they have so much flavor all by themselves. The meat tastes like a combination of crab and lobster. Only the claws of stone crabs are harvested, as the body of the crab provides very little meat. When you purchase stone crab claws, chances are that they’ve already been cooked, so all you have to do is to heat them or eat them chilled. They make a great party food, and they can be eaten as a meal or added to cold salads.

grilled redfish recipe
I like outdoor BBQ cooking for fish, and I got to try out a few new fish recipes this week, on the fresh fish we caught while on a Florida vacation. The largest fish we caught, other than sharks, were redfish. You might know the fish as red drum, channel bass, spottail bass, or simply as reds. If you’re not a fisherman, you might know the species by a popular menu item – blackened redfish. These fish are great on the grill!

grilled mackerel photo by matsuyuki
The following Spanish mackerel recipe for outdoor BBQ cooking is one of the few ways I’ll eat the fish. I love fish and fish recipes, but in all honesty, I’m not a fan of most oily fishes. Spanish mackerel is oily, and it has a pretty strong flavor. Of course, some folks really like the rich, oily taste. I’ve tried Spanish mackerel several different ways, and in my opinion, grilling and smoking are the best way to go with these fish.

BBQ prawns or BBQ shrimp
Shrimp and BBQ cooking? Yep, and probably not what you’re thinking! Perhaps you’ve cooked skewered shrimp on the barbecue, but this recipe is different. These shrimp, or prawns, are actually in a barbecue sauce, making them real BBQ shrimp, or BBQ prawns, for our European and Aussie pals. Honestly, other than fried shrimp, these are the BEST shrimp I’ve ever eaten! The sauce was so good that I added some ingredients to the leftovers and am marinating a chicken in it right now. Do yourself a favor and try this recipe!

Great grilled grouper recipe!
Tonight for dinner we had some leftover corn-on-the-cob and sweet potato wedges that had been cooked on the barbecue. I had some grouper fillets and decided to grill them. I made a yummy salsa with a fresh mango and other ingredients. I used a Vidalia onion in my homemade salsa because that’s what I had in the kitchen. You might prefer to use a red onion. Also, I didn’t add cilantro to my salsa, largely because I’m not a big fan of cilantro. If you like it, add it!

traditional southern food – fried catfish
Want some authentic southern food? If so, give this southern fried catfish a try. We have several catfish species in the South, but the one most preferred is the channel cat. Choose catfish that will just fit in your largest skillet – that’s after the heads have been removed. Of course, you have to take out the entrails and pull off the skin, too. Once all that has been done, split the catfish in half, lengthwise. Now you’re ready to cook!

This is an awesome sea bass recipe! Sea bass is one of my favorite fish, especially when it’s super fresh. We don’t have the really big sea bass in our southern waters, but we do have some delicious black sea bass. I landed my first sea bass about thirty years ago on a charter fishing boat out of Isle of Hope, which is near Savannah, Georgia. We caught several sea bass that day, and we took them straight to our condo and cooked them. I was hooked on sea bass!
