What are your favorite seafood dishes or places to eat seafood? Do you prefer to catch (or buy) your seafood and cook it yourself?
I do love fishing in the Keys and had my mom teach me how to filet fish so I could do it myself. I haven't ventured to cook my own lobster from the store, though. I feel bad enough eating them at restaurants that have a tank of them. Plus, it seems like it would be a major pain to cook and clean up.
Red Lobster was my family's restaurant of choice while I was growing up so my sister and I still choose to go their frequently for our birthdays or other special occasions. I like the taste of seafood so I don't want to cover it up with a thick breading or heavy sauce. I like how Red Lobster makes the breading light for their fried entrees and really love them broiled!! My dad and I often got the Neptune Platter, although sometimes my sister and I would get a popcorn shrimp and clam strip entree to split.
I'm so excited that Red Lobster has Lobsterfest going on now! I wish they'd had it a few weeks ago for my birthday. I had wanted to get two lobster tails but I ended up going to Longhorn Steakhouse for Surf and Turf with one lobster tail. Now, Red Lobster has a two lobster tail entree and a lobster tail plus shrimp-topped sirloin Surf and Turf dinner. I just got paid this week so I'm planning on hitting up Lobsterfest over the weekend.
I used to go to Captain D's frequently when I lived on the other side of town. Their catfish dinner was really affordable and I liked their choice of sides.
Long John Silver was another of my family's favorite seafood places. We haven't had one in town for many years and the last time I went to one in St. Petersburg, it was extremely greasy, the batter sloughing off of the soggy fish. Yuck! Definitely not how I remembered it.
I'll have to come back sometime because I could talk about seafood all day! Living in Florida, I've had plenty of access to fresh seafood and developed quite a love for it.
