Catfish, Flounder, & Froglegs

[Magicman]

Cajun folks know how to put on a feed.  My customer is providing meals and lodging on my present  sawing job.  Last night was wonderful, but tonight was belly popping.


 
The serving line which included Fresh Catfish filets, Flounder, and Froglegs.


 
The bestest part was that I could go back for more.   ;D

[giant splinter]

WOW .... That is a very nice spread of food, I need to go south and mow some of that great chow down there, especially the seafood and gator.

[thecfarm]

Eye popping too. That looks good.

This food topic is a love hate relationship for me,  I always get hungry when I see all the good looking spreads, and that there looks pretty good!  david

[Magicman]

And then today I was "forced" to eat a fresh caught fried catfish "Po-boy" sandwich for lunch.   ;D

[sandhills]

Okay Magic, I know hard you work for your living but I think you may be getting a little spoiled on this job  ;).  Man that food looks good!

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Eye popping too. That looks good.

Y'alls don't eat Frogs up North do you? Y'alls eat Penguins.......right? ;D

[thecfarm]

Yea we have to go with the penguins when the ponds gets frozed over. Too hard to cut out the ice than dig in the mud for the frogs.  :D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Y'alls no what KHAKIs are? 

[thecfarm]

I'alls have no idea. Not a soup with something green in it???

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I'alls have no idea. Not a soup with something green in it???

:D Good guess. Down south we wear KHAKI PANTS.....

KHAKIS up North is what y'alls start your car with.....KHA KIS.

[thecfarm]

I don't know why I bother at times.  :  ;D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I don't know why I bother at times.  :  ;D

That was corny.  :D
Sometimes I cant help it.  ;D

[drobertson]

I laughed :D :D,  david

[tractormanNwv]

WOW Magic........that sure looks good, wish I would have known you were having froglegs, maybe you could have E-mailed me some  ;D. I spent a number of years working the Gulf coast from Milton, FL  over to New Orleans, lot of good eating down there, now I'm in Philadelphia, Pa and Hopewell, Va, it just ain't the same, but at least in Va you can get country style cooking, in Philly down by the airport it is just simply hard to find anything a redneck or a hillbilly likes to eat.

As a kid in WNY, we ate fried froglegs a lot in the summer. Add to that as many boiled crawdads (crayfish) as we could catch. BTW...froglegs don't taste like chicken... ;)

[pappy19]

The very best way to catch frogs is to use a fly rod with a big fly on the end but make sure you pinch the barb down. You can actually clean out a pond if you don't watch it. Day or night you flick that fly even close to that frog and he is on your line. It's a whole lot easier than trying to gig them at night. I've had 10-15 frogs trying to catch that fly at one time. I use 20# line.

Some may not believe it, but here in NY, there is a season on frogs, just like there is on fishing & hunting!

[pappy19]

That's because in NY the poor frogs only have about 3 weeks of summer to grow, mate, lay eggs and move from being a tadpole to an adult.  In the south, it's just the opposite, they have 3 weeks of rest around Christmas, otherwise, they just keep on growing and laying eggs. You probably have a crawfish season and a limit as well!!

Pap

[Chuck White]

Nope, no season on crawfish here.

But then I've not heard of anyone around here eating them!

Probably as soon as someone tries them and likes them, they'll most likely start a season!  :-\

[DoubleD]

Oh boy i have not had froglegs like in forever :-\ all that food looks delicious  8)
