Seafood is known for its flexibility, allowing everyone from amateurs to executive chefs to get creative in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be boiled, broiled, baked, saut\u00e9ed, fried or grilled. No wonder then when you combine the myriad of delicious preparation techniques with a wide selection of fresh ingredients, the results are magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deep-fried foods are a classic in the South, and for several reasons. Fried oysters retain a nice moisture that complements the crunch of breading. A plate of fried oysters might be a suitable replacement for fried chicken at football season\u2019s first big-screen viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those not as interested in fried finger foods, buttery shrimp could be what the mariner ordered. Garlic, parsley, butter and shrimp sizzling in the pan fill the kitchen with a nice aroma. Try pairing these shrimp with something green and flavorful, such as collards. This classic dish will draw everyone to the table with smiles on their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those seeking their next Sunday cookout or dinner party entr\u00e9e should look no further than grilled tuna with lemon mayonnaise. The beautiful grill marks on the fish are sure to impress guests. The rich flavors of mayonnaise are enhanced by the tang of lemon. A simple salad or loaded baked potato is all that\u2019s needed to turn this fish into a complete meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shrimp, oysters and tuna are readily available in North Carolina seafood markets in autumn, so these recipes are not only delicious, but they\u2019re seasonal too. Whether your personal tastes skew down-home and southern-fried, or light and buttery, these recipes are sure to leave you satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
