We stocked up on Gulf seafood from a local market. BIL made the most delicious fried oysters. Apparently the key is to take your time drying up the liquid before coating and frying. Just a thin coating of spicy rub. Best fried oysters I’ve ever had.
I made Gertie’s crab cakes with lump crabmeat. Mayo, mustard, Old Bay, Worcestershire sauce, crushed saltines, and an egg. We were short on oil so I shallow-fried in a mix of oil and butter. Spicy tartar sauce with mayo, mustard, S&P, Old Bay, Tapatio salsa, and spicy pickles. Rather than bread we ate the crab cakes in iceberg lettuce wraps. I will do that again.
Edit: Oh, and baked sweet potatoes with butter.
Apologies to the local seafood joint, but I liked our homemade (VRBO-made?) meal better. Sorry, no pics.
