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?
