Grew up in the Florida keys.. Seafood was all we ate, usually caught within hours of cooking. Around lunch time we would jump in a boat and come back 1/2 hour later with a dozen or more fresh lobster, crabs or conch. My dad was retired and did nothing but fish (deep sea), so Dolphin (mahi mahi) was a major staple. Twice a year, the shrimp would run and we would stay up all night netting them, winding up with more than we could fit in our second freezer.
No longer live down there unfortunately. With the cost of seafood, I'm lucky if I eat some once a month, and it's usually some frozen stuff out of a bag.
Cheers,
Brad
