I'll have a little fish with that

While browsing some old photos, I came across this one I took at our last fish fry. We have had fish frys (fries?) about twice a year for a many many years. It usually consists of: fried flounder, fried baby whole flounder, fried shrimp (butterflied and popcorn), boiled shrimp, crab cakes, hushpuppies, slaw, potato salad and cheese corn muffins. 

You can see many of these in this photo. Nobody was shy about dipping a huge plate (these pans were full to the top at the beginning).

How to have a fish fry :-).
And while I'm on the subject of cooking the fish we catch (the shrimp come from our favorite local shrimp boat), I also found this photo of a perfect breakfast (or supper) meal. Fried fish, shrimp and grits (a southern favorite). And since it's early morning here, I'd love to have this plate in front of me right now.

Do you eat shrimp and grits?
