what's your favorite local fish/seafood?

Good morning to all- When we lived up in the Ozarks, my favorite fish/seafood was a mess of creek-caught goggle-eye- also called rock bass- fried up crisp and hot with some fried taties.
down here, I have to say that my favorite local seafood is a big bag of fresh oysters- steamed, baked, raw- I love those nasty-looking things.
What's your favorite local seafood/fish food, and how do you fix it?
Good fishing- and eating- to all- Ed Mashburn

Burbot, perch, walleye. In that order. Fried while still twitching in a deep pan of butter. Taters, slaw, and homemade tartar sauce. A shore lunch for a king...

Brook trout are unbeatable. Alas, I have none near. Shrimp, oysters, and flounder.

LOcally...

Blue crab, shrimp, redfish, any grouper, mullet...

Blue crab is best as a fried softshell. Shrimp I love steamed, boiled, fried or sauteed. Redfish or grouper, fried or baked with butter. Mullet smoked to tender perfection.

Growing up on a small bay in RI, it was blue shell crab (steamed), snapper blues (fried), flounder (fried), eel (fried), lobster (baked stuffed) and striped bass (baked). Also we’d have “steamers” which we’d dig at low tide, bay scallops, and “Cherry Stones” raw (smaller quahogs) which we’d dive for.
Now that “local” means 75 yards from the house, Crappie (fried), LM Bass (fried).
Kind of missing the variety…………

Hard to beat bluegills for flavor. I'd rather eat bluegill than walleye. Of course I've recently fallen in love with Northern Pike caviar.

Yes to all of these... Except the oysters have to be fried... And a nice "stuffed flounder" sounds especially yummy.... But non of that here.. But my all time favorite is red snapper.... Prepared any way possible...

We are a 20 minute drive from the nearest harbour. This area is popular for crayfish(which is big like lobster) and marlin (that huge sword fish) and all other fishing and diving popular in the far north of New Zealand.
My fav seafood though would be snapper, flounder, crayfish and shellfish (cockles and pipis).
Our people use raw, fresh snapper to make a dish called 'raw fish'. Basically marinade fillets of snapper in lemon juice and chill, drain and dice and add diced tomato, chopped spring onions. Cover in a can of coconut cream, mix and chill. Yummy!
But I'll eat any seafood and enjoy it
