Homemade tartar sauce
For me, fried seafood is hardly worth eating without a great tartar sauce for dipping. Maybe it’s a “Southern thing,” but honestly, some seafood restaurants down here are often judged by their ability to make and serve tasty tartar sauce. I make a lot of fish recipes and eat a lot of seafood, and I always make my own homemade tartar sauce. Those commercial brands just don’t “cut it” with my family.

Preparing bonnethead shark steaks
Sharks are usually easy to catch, and in many coastal locations around the U.S., they’re plentiful. Shark meat is delicious when properly prepared, but when it’s not handled correctly, it can have the same texture as a rubber ball. To avoid this, you need to know how to prepare shark meat for cooking. What does shark meat taste like? Of course, everyone describes taste a little differently, but to me, it tastes like a combination of fish, chicken, and pork. The flavor is mild, without a strong “fishy” taste.

You’ve perhaps heard of a dish called Hoppin’ John, a favorite dish of the Gullah or Geechee culture. You may not, however, be familiar with Limpin’ Susan. Supposedly, Limpin’ Susan was Hoppin’ John’s wife, and this shrimp and rice dish was named for her. The original recipe usually includes okra, but since my husband doesn’t care for okra unless it’s fried, I leave it out. If you wish to include okra in your preparation of the dish, add about a cup of sliced okra that’s been boiled until just tender.
