Bathing suit season is almost here and, while I don't really care if you are offended by me in a bathing suit, some people are starting to get focused on low-calorie sustenance as a way to be comfortable on the beach this summer. Fish = diet food.

Hey Y'all, Happy Masters Weekend! I'm not a golfer but stories from the Masters are so much fun that even I can sit still long enough to watch parts of the tournament. How about that ball landing in a lady's shopping bag?!? We may be sneezing our heads off, but visitors to Augusta National must surely think they have walked into a horticultural paradise. Mother Nature is surely strutting her stuff this weekend. FIN MAIL: From Jenny: Kathleen, the grouper we had last night was

Hey Y'all, It's been a great week. We are working hard to get our Seafood Boil up and running for your spring/summer celebrations.

Hey Y'all, I know the pollen is a lot. I can see your red eyes and runny noses when you step into my store and I'm sorry you are suffering.

After last week's monkfish disaster I haven't spent much time in the kitchen. I did have one success preparing a seafood boil as a test for a meal kit. It was fabulous and I am excited about presenting this meal to you soon as an option for a quick and easy dinner.

Fall is oyster season! Now is the time for oyster roasts, oyster chowders, oyster dressing and just eating raw oysters. You may have heard that you should only eat oysters in a month with an R which, according to old-timers, means that Novembe"R" is a safe month to eat them. This was a valid rule in the days before widespread refrigeration was available when oysters were often transported in rail cars on ice. In these days of modern refrigeration, summer months are safe

Hey Y'all, Cynthia wrote me this week in response to my request for educational topics for my blog. Her idea is a good one! She writes: Can you please talk to us about that pesky vein in the shrimp? I’m fine with the little black string-type thing, I get it, we all have to go someplace. But what about the thick, orange, goopy-type thing? Did that guy eat something gross? And is that a signal for me to pass on eating him? That guy is a girl! That goop is the roe found

Hey Y‘all, Thanks to everyone who inquired about my little dog, Abby. She is recovering from surgery and doing fine.

Lots of customers ask me for suggesti

Hey Y‘all, What crosses your mind when you think of fall? Most people think of cooler temperatures and driving through the mountains admiring fall colors. For me fall is all about fresh shrimp! This is the best season for beautiful white Georgia shrimp with NO ROE! Here's what last fall looked like to me: Early departure in a rental truck Almost there!

Hey Y'all, If anyone ever doubts the difficulty of being a small seafood retailer, let me remind them of the impact of weather on our business. Hurricane Erin is churning up the Atlantic, making fishing impossible in the northeast. Species such as striped bass, skate wing and black bass will not be available for a short time but, luckily, warmer water fish will be plentiful. In Other News...

I am dying of frustration right along side it and will be in the market for a wig soon if I don't g
