So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

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

By Stephen West


Food lovers are always looking for the next mouthwatering meal. They are not averse to traveling hours to try a new restaurant or order a unique dish from a renowned chef. When people think about seafood, Louisiana might come to mind or any one of several cities along the Atlantic coast. What sometimes gets overlooked is the bay of Mobile, Alabama on the Gulf of Mexico. Spanish Fort is one of the small towns located on the bay, and you can be sure the fresh seafood Spanish Fort offers year round residents, visitors, and tourists will be delectable.

If you love oysters, baked, fried, shredded into chowder, or just raw on the half shell, this is a great area to find them. Alabama fishermen usually catch oysters in the winter. Anytime between November and March, you should find them on most menus.

White and brown shrimp live in the gulf's warm waters. They are not interchangeable in recipes, as most chefs will tell you. The white variety is large and mild. If you order boiled shrimp, for example, you will be served the whites. Brown shrimp are great added to stuffing and stew. They are smaller and have a stronger taste.

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.

Mobile Bay restaurant owners have more to offer customers than just shellfish. Sea fish are also in abundant supply here as well. Red snapper is a universal favorite because of its firm texture and delicious white meat. It can be prepared in many ways including poached, baked or grilled. A favorite among red snapper lovers is the dish that incorporates cranberry juice, whisky, and amaretto into the ingredients.

Flounder and king mackerel are some of the other seafood favorites when they are in season. Summer and fall are the months when you will most likely be able to sample these freshwater fish. You can even try out some shark if you have a taste for it. They do inhabit the waters of the gulf, and you are most likely to find them on the menu in May and June.

If you are a real lover of freshwater seafood dining, you can help ensure that shellfish and sea fish remain plentiful by supporting the efforts to maintain a healthy habitat for marine wildlife and keep the gulf clean. Not only is it vital for a thriving ecosystem, but the livelihood of local fishermen and businesses depend on it.

People may go elsewhere to find crowded theme parks, huge stadiums packed with concert fans, and classical arts and entertainment. But if you are looking for some of the best fresh seafood restaurants that exist in America, Mobile Bay should be one of the places on your list.
