I am rather fond of Polish Octopi, myself.

I am rather fond of that top picture....and the bottom one looks like a Redneck sea food dinner...

Looks like someone is missing BC. :cry: I would be to. that is quite a spread.

I don't understand, I eat that top dish 4-5 times a week. :-| I'm not recognizing anything on the bottom one. a29

Well I eat that bottom one 4 or 5 times a week, but I cant afford to eat all 3 items at once. That is why the top one looks so good. s020

Like I really needed that, s176 good thing I only have a couple of months left before I can get back to the West Coast. Going home in May to look at some places to buy. Of course I'l have to do some Prawning and Salmon fishing while me and the wife are out there. :grin:

I have to say, I do miss those Fresh Seafood meals. My family and I would spend weekends at our summer home on Long Island, NY. We were actually living on the water.
Only minutes away from the Great South Bay, and about 1.5 hrs away from Jones Inlet, and out into the Atlantic Ocean.
23 years on the water after 10 years of the Navy. Fresh clams, Blue Claw Crabs off the docks, Flounder, Fluke, Sea Bass, Porgies, Weakfish, Blues, Strippers. Fishing off the wrecks and on the reefs, anchoring out or doing a drift. The sweet smell of bait fish in the foggy morning or watching small Blue Fish chasing the bait fish into the sandbars. Surf-cast Fishing off the jetties or the rocks and piers.
Shark, tuna and Mackerel, Forth of July Shark tournament, and the fireworks over the bay, huge Fish Fries on the beach, Piss clams, Mussels boiling aways melted butter for dipping, Crab cakes. Sitting on the flybridge watching the sun set over the water. Red night, a sailors delight, Red morning, sailors take warning Oh the memories..

I was reluctant to post on your started topic. Every time I view the posts my mouth would start to drool for the fresh taste of Salt Water food.
Nothing beats fresh and I do mean Fresh Sea Food either caught off the hook, crabbing with a string line with either a fish head or chicken livers, or using the crab box or pyrimid traps, or the occasional walking the docks and scooping up the Blue Claws of the bulkheads.
Ahhhhhhh the good old days of digging clams in the shallows by using a clam rake or tongs, or jumping overboard after anchoring and wading in chest high water digging the clams with your feet, and then reaching down to pick it up and then placing it in a bushel basket floating in an old car inner tube.
Another thing I enjoyed doing was crabbing at night with my buddy on his 19-foot CC Bayliner on a nice calm bay under the bridges. Nothing like coming back with 2-3 bushels of crabs after midnight.
Those days are long gone now since I chose a different life style, but those memories will last a lifetime.
Great topic started by you Reeves, and I like the way it is continuing. Maybe some day I'll hit the Atlantic Coast again, but until then it is just fond memories.

I may have to dig up some pictures to post or mail to you, of my time on QCI !
In mid March the Halibut would move into the area in front of where I lived. The fishing hole was 10 minutes by boat (my small one) and round trip would take 1/2 hour....and I'd have my two Halibut in the boat !
Fishing was awesome like this up till the Dog Fish moved into the area in mid May.
Halibut were still there, but so many Dog fish were there, you couldn't get a line down to the Halibut.
It was at this time I'd start fishing another area. Took an hour to drive to the inlet, then an hour by boat to an area that would produce fish every time the line was dropped down !
Various species of Rock Fish, Ling .....mmmmmmmmmmmmm !
