There are certain traditions that make the holidays special, and of course, in the Graham family, those traditions usually involve food–turkey and cornbread dressing for Thanksgiving and a regal crown roast of pork for Christmas Day. Oh, and of course, a Christmas Eve gumbo with friends and family after church services the night before. For…

Cajun Seafood Gumbo
The very first spoonful of this soul-satisfying brew is the essence of the fall season in Cajun country. With bold flavors of Louisiana seafood (oysters, shrimp, and crab) harvested from nearby Gulf waters and crawfish from inland ponds, it is further intensified with dark roux, smoked sausage, and Cajun spice. It’s gumbo time! One sign…
Meet The Fisherman: Butch Smith
Butch Smith has been fishing the backwaters, lakes, and inland rivers of Louisiana for as long as he’s been breathing fresh bayou air. He’s seen it all and knows a thing or two about fishing, especially wild-caught catfish. I like to call Butch the “King of Catfish,” and one visit to his Fresh Water Seafood,…
Grilled Grouper Sandwich
This Grilled Grouper Sandwich is a culinary masterpiece.

Whole Flounder stuffed with Louisiana Shrimp
To me, flounder is flat-out the most delectable of all the Gulf finfish. And for my money, a classic Cajun recipe for stuffed whole flounder with wild-caught, Gulf shrimp is the ultimate dish for someone as seafood-obsessed as me. Whenever I see it on a restaurant menu, I can’t resist. And I couldn’t resist the…
Meet The Fisherman: Josh Boudreaux
The seafood supply chain from boat-to-table starts with the fisherman. Sometimes the catch is sold directly from the docks, and other times, it winds up in the refrigerated case of your neighborhood seafood retailer. Josh Boudreaux is out to add another option. Josh is a seafood entrepreneur. With his 20-foot “rolling freezer” on wheels, Josh…
