Seafood

Hand Cut Fries

Hushpuppies

Green Onion Coleslaw

Side Salad

Method

Prepare the Seafood

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    Boil or grill the jumbo shrimp until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Oysters

    Shuck the oysters and serve them raw on a platter with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce.

  3. 3

    Fry the Catfish

    Coat catfish fillets in seasoned cornmeal and fry in hot oil until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Prepare the Sides

  1. 4

    Hand Cut Fries

    Cut russet potatoes into fries and soak in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer and fry the potatoes until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

  2. 5

    Hushpuppies

    In a bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir in buttermilk, egg, and onion until just combined. Drop spoonfuls of batter into hot oil and fry until golden, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 6

    Green Onion Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, and green onions. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and toss to coat.

  4. 7

    Side Salad

    In a salad bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.

Assemble the Platter

  1. 8

    Serve

    On a large platter, arrange the cooked shrimp, fried catfish, and shucked oysters. Serve with hand-cut fries, hushpuppies, green onion coleslaw, and side salad.
