Yesterday I spent the day thinking about frying fish. Well, the day got away from me and we decided to go to a local seafood restaurant located in north Houston.
First let me start by saying that it definitely different. Captain Tom's Seafood and Oyster Bar Appears to be the front end of a tugboat that is marooned on an asphalt Island.
As you enter the restaurant the seating is open. No waitstaff. No host Stand. The seat are lined around the Bow of the vessel and the center area or "Bar" is where all the action takes place. Beer, cold drinks and oysters are served by a team of shuckers and runners all working in tandem. Located to the rear of the bar is the galley with a symphony of vats, frying everything from French Fries to Frog Legs!
From any seat in the house you call out your orders to a team member at the bar. In less that 10 minutes your being passed a platter of hot freshly fried bounty of the sea. Just call out your drink as well.
Once you have stuffed yourself with Chili Beer and the Seafood Platter make your way to register and repeat your order! Great food, Great Prices, and lots of fun.
I think frying fish is a really easy meal to make outside of the mess. This is where cleaning as you go really helps out. I like to work the process 1 step at a time. Once I've finished frying I can sit down and enjoy meal without a lot of clean up.
Cornmeal, Seasoned Flour, and Batter dipping really create a spectrum of Flavor.
Each Friday I will try to bring out a new seafood recipe or treat myself to a seafood dinner out on the town. Stop by and see what cookin' on Fridays.
