FISH

If fish could fly, the South couldn't make it easier to snag the best catch of the day right out of the sky. Our deep, clear water lakes, crystal clear cold mountain streams, miles of blue ocean waters and salty, back-water bayous make seafood a natural part of our delicious Southern cuisine.

Cajun fried fish and Southern Catfish (traditionally served with hush-puppies and coleslaw), guided, deep water fishing trips and "You Catch It - We'll Cook It" restaurants. Urban gourmet seafood cuisine and shrimp shacks on the shore. They all have one thing is common. Fresh catch fish - Is there any other kind?

Gaston's Grilled Trout Special Recipe

Main Course AR [DINING] [ATTRACTIONS] [RECIPES]

Everyone knows Southerners eat a bunch of catfish, but freshly caught and cooked trout probably runs a very close second. And surprise, surprise—not all fish dishes are fried! Arkansas is home to two of the country's premier trout streams—the White and the Little Red. Gaston's White River Resort restaurant in Lakeview showcases trout in many shapes, forms and tastes. Here is owner Jim Gaston's favorite.
