How about a 60 lb Nicaraguan tarpon?

That could feed Dolly Parton and all of her ELEVEN brothers and sisters. Not a big tarpon eater? Perhaps bullfrog, like this pair in a Washington DC market, sounds tastier? The patron is off her head with anticipation.

This DC chef seems no more excited about his frog-boiling tasks as he inspects the shipment from New Orleans.
The Puerto Rican peddlers below may not be flashing any smiles, but the market promises a tasty dish from the land crabs. First they boil their little bodies, scrape the meat out of the shells, toss them in with ham, green peppers, olive oil, and seasoning, mix it up, then return it to the empty shells. An egg is then placed on top and baked. Interesting, no?

Maybe you would prefer something tamer, like this morning catch from Winnibigoshish Lake in Minnesota.

And a side of hush puppies please!

Yes please hushpuppies. I had some hushpuppies yesterday with a side of pimento cheese. As much as I enjoy seafood I would forego all of the fish for pups.

I’ve never had a hushpuppy. But I’ve had plenty of frog legs.

Cross my heart…never had a hushpuppy. I think I had grits once but not 100% sure. Obvs I have limited experience in the South.

So you’re telling me hush puppies don’t come with every fried fish meal you’ve ever seen? I thought they were ubiquitous. Just like I thought cornbread was everywhere.

We always get rice. The Japanese thing, ya know. Fries sometimes. Hushpuppies aren’t on the menu very often out here. I guess I’m deprived.

Well, I imagine I’m being deprived of something that you get on the regular.

I remember when Long John Silver’s was around. I liked their hush puppies. But that’s been my only experience with the tasty fare.

Wow. Huh. I assumed it came with every catfish plate in existence. I used to like to wear the LJS hats when I was a kid.

Oh yeah, I remember those hats! I forgot their competitor’s name, Skipper’s, my hubs with the assist.

The only food I’d choose to eat here would be the hush puppies, Kerbey. Otherwise, no, no and heck no.
