Creole Shrimp Dip – A Holiday Tradition

December 21, 2020 by George Graham 200 Comments

Creole Shrimp Dip – A Holiday Tradition

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…

For Quincy Verret and his wife Sharon, making a living fishing the coastal Gulf waters surrounding Bayou Dularge in Terrebonne Parish is more than a business; it’s a way of life.

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

December 7, 2020 by George Graham Leave a Comment

Grilled Grouper Sandwich

This Grilled Grouper Sandwich is a culinary masterpiece. The herbal intensity of rosemary bathes the fish in smoke-kissed flames that mingle with Cajun spice and a zesty lemon vinaigrette to create “perfection on a bun.” The crisp bun, crunchy lettuce, vinegary pickled red onion, and creamy rémoulade all combine to redefine the term “fish sandwich”…

Grilled Oysters on the Half Shell

Garlicky, buttery, cheesy with a hint of herbs, these are bold flavors that complement the goodness of a Louisiana oyster cooked on open flame. My Grilled Oysters on the Half Shell are a culinary masterpiece, and it doesn’t get any simpler. Hands down, the invention of the char-grilled oyster on the half shell is a…

Whole Flounder stuffed with Louisiana Shrimp

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

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…
