Seafood

I get my share of freshwater fish because I live beside the Mississippi river, but I don't get seafood very often unfortunately. I really like crab and shrimp. Halibut is great as well, but when we were In Portland a month or so ago I had some trout (the kind im not sure) and it was fabulous. Best fish I've ever eaten bar none.

I live a block away from Lake Taneycomo. I try to go trout fishing at least once a week. There are some really nice browns and rainbows.

I have never fished for trout. The dnr stocks rainbows in some of the little rivers and streams in north eastern Iowa but I've never been up there to fish. So, do you troll for them in the main lake then? Your in pretty good large mouth country down there near bull shoals. Here where I'm at in south eastern Iowa, catfish is probably king with some good bass fishing (mostly large mouths but a few smallies) crappie, bluegills, and also the walleye and striper runs in the spring below the lock and dams.

Blackened Salmon and Alaskan snow crab legs are my favorites.

Yesterday went to a place, on a friend's recommendation, and almost did not go in it looked so bad from the outside. Ordered grilled salmon which was on a softened spinach and artichoke bed covered with fire grilled tomatoes and a light cream sauce. Damn it was good.

Will agree with ODD the Apalachicola oysters. Like to stay in Port St. Joe and a trip to Apalachicola is always on the to do list. 90% of the FL oysters come from there and you will get them straight out of the bay.

There is a little island that we fish off of. Taneycomo stretches from the Table Rock dam to the Powersite dam in Forsyth.

I'd give just about anything to sit on her back porch with her, have that meal while listening to the Braves on the radio, and have a Georgia thunderstorm roll by... perfection. Spent many a summer evening in my youth doing just that. Miss You Granny!

EDIT: I know that is not what the OP wanted. @LeroyOU12 's salmon pick made me think about her.

You're just fucking with me now, right? Captain D's is a national fast food chain that serves "Seafood".

You said "Horsey sauce". Down our way, that's a fast food term.

I think Captain Ds are primarily in the south and Midwest. Basically the same thing as Long John Silvers.
 
Most people like to dip their alaskan snow crab and king crab legs in melted butter.
Try this dipping recipe next time you eat them crab legs:
Mixed chopped garlic, shredded parmasian or asiago cheese and a little pinch of salt in 1/2 cup of your choice of virgin olive oil.
