Places to eat?

Waffle house :headbang:

Hey Dutch, isn't Oceans restaurant next to Market Fresh? They serve red meat to those that can't have or don't like seafood. It has always been great.

Oceans is in the same building as Fresh Market Seafood on 180. I've never eaten there but the neighbors say they have a decent pizza. Tacky Jack's is right in front of the Ft Morgan Marina but I feel it's about average as far as the food goes.

I don't eat out a whole lot, and will usually cook whatever I catch if I want fish. I have to be in the mood for shrimp and am picky about buying it and who I buy it from. When I get the boat next year I'll be catching my own.

I can't wait to get some fresh seafood! You guys are so lucky to have it right in your backyard! If we want king,Mac,flounder,ect it's off to the Asian market but the wife won't step foot in there lol.

Fresh seafood served at the coast? Most places serve imported fish and shrimp. About the only thing you can count on being fresh and local are the oysters.

If you go to Mikee's be sure to get some seafood gumbo, it's the best I've had since we moved from Birmingham. Before we moved here we thought the Bright Star had the best but Mikee's may have them beat.

??? Being a native Louisianan and gumbo cook par excellance, I personally don't eat it from any restaurant more than 50 miles from the border of LA. Unless, that is, the chef is a LA native or LA trained. As in "The Landing Zone" on Ft Rucker. His is almost as good as mine.
Gumbo in general is very easy to screw up - seafood makes it even moe difficult. Besides, what most restaurants call gumbo is just thin soup.

I hear this place is pretty good....and just down from J&M

At the time and where you grew up in Louisiana gumbo wasn't indigenous groceries, and still isn't IMO. I know that good gumbo cooks have been inhabiting the Mississippi and Alabama counties that border the gulf for generations. I would order gumbo from a restaurant here long before I would from any restaurant north of and including Alexandria, unless it was from one of the mid to upper level chains that have origins in South Louisiana (Mike Anderson's, Copeland's, Ralph and Kacoos, etc).

Help yourself. One time I ate gumbo in GS, it had spoiled shrimp in it. Also, not sure how much you know about when and where I grew up and what indigenous groceries might or might not have been used. :poke1: I will grant a few border counties in MS and TX, however.

The resturant On canal road if your going east just before Bravo tacos called Big fish. It has good sushi and serves fish and red meat :headbang: heck bravo tacos if freakn' yummy too :eat:
