Growing up in Florida and Georgia near lakes, rivers, and oceans fish and seafood were an important part of my soul food and southern diet.

I always looked forward to weekend fishing trips, crab trapping and searching for oysters and claws. When I was younger I had no idea that these foods were both great tasting and nutritious.

From an outdoorsman perspective it's hard to believe this food is free. That's assuming you have licenses and work hard tracking down your seafood and fish.
