Sample The Fresh Seafood That Spanish Fort Offers Every Month Of The Year

By Stephen West


People who love good food do not mind traveling for miles to test a new dish or a new restaurant. They may visit an unfamiliar city because they are intrigued by the type of cuisine available there. For seafood lovers, nothing compares to fresh sea fish and shellfish. There are cities up and down the east coast known for ocean delicacies cooked to perfection. On the gulf, the fresh seafood Spanish Fort restaurants serve is second to none.

If you have certain preferences when it comes to sea fish and shellfish, you will have to know when these items are available in the Mobile area. Oysters for instance, are usually in supply during the winter months. From November through March you should be able to order fresh oysters raw, baked or fried, and as a delicious ingredient in oyster chowder.

Shrimp is a favorite with old and young alike. Alabama shrimpers net both brown and white shrimp. Locals who eat these shellfish will tell you that there is a distinct difference between the two, and it is not just the color. The browns are small, firm and are stronger tasting. They make excellent stuffing and stew. The whites are big and have a milder flavor to them.

Fresh crab is delicious, and this area can offer restaurant visitors both soft and hard shell crabs. You find them on the menu in late spring and summer. It seems as though every eatery has its own special recipes when it comes to cooking this shellfish. You will have to decide for yourself which ones you enjoy the most.

When it comes to sea fish, nothing can beat red snapper for many discerning gourmets. It is prized for its firm texture and mild flavor. People can choose to order it grilled, baked, or poached for instance. There are several versions of a well known recipe for this fish that include whiskey, amaretto, and cranberry juice.

Other fish common on gulf coast menus include flounder and king mackerel. You are most likely to find them available during the summer and the fall. If you are into exotic food, you might like to try a piece of shark, which are caught in these waters, and in season from May through June.

Hurricanes can rapidly develop in the warm waters of the gulf, and they can be extremely destructive to marine wildlife. They also disrupt the lives of residents living on this fragile coast. Many of these people make their living fishing for all types of shellfish and sea fish. It is very important that everyone respects the environment found here.

Spanish Fort and the other communities that dot Mobile Bay are great places to find amazing fresh and delicious food. You owe it to yourself to drop by a local restaurant, and judge for yourself, when you are in the area.
