One less fine dining place in Starkville.

Never trusted what kind of fish I was getting at Capt D'S. Not sure it wasn't from Vietnam.

Don't restaurants have to post, or at least tell you if you ask, the point of origin of food items?

They don't call it Captain Disease for nothing....

They have a sign on their menu that says some of their shit is from Vietnam. I admire their honesty.

Yes to what u say. But there are no better Crab Cakes in America that is as good as Baltimore! Add clam crowder in the NE.

You're absolutely right! That's why I was careful with what I typed and made sure I said "regional" because I'm pretty sure Maine has better lobsters than Louisiana. Baltimore/Maryland for crabcakes and clams. Also the Pacific Northwest has some really good seafood- salmon, Rainbow Trout, King Crab, Snow Crab, and etc.

No difference between Louisiana and Mississippi oysters that I can tell. I do like oysters better up the east coast.

The ones in Louisiana are bigger than Mississippi.

I wonder if that's required now? I will definitely say that any restaurant that has that their seafood- especially catfish and crawfish that come locally are more likely to get me back as a customer more frequently. I try to avoid Vietnamese catfish and seafood because the quality isn't as good and of course it won't be as fresh.

If you guys are really into oysters you should check out so of the farmed ones coming out of Alabama. Ones like Murder Point and Point Aux Pins (I know I probably misspelled that). Auburn university really has engineered a better oyster.

Louisiana and Mississippi harvest the same shellfish, gamefish and molluscs. Louisiana yields a lot more probably, but it's the same regional marine ecosystems.

Would they put the origin on the menu if it was required by law? Probably not.

Back in the '80s we called it Captain Grease. Nothing better to nurse a hangover! Greasy fish, hushpuppies, fries and a giant sweet tea. Ah, the memories...

The batter and seasoning in Louisiana makes a lot of the difference.

Definitely, unless you're on the coast.

It's not the size of the oyster but how you dip it.

that place opened when i was in Jr. High @ Starkville Academy. Back in the day when it was new & clean... you couldn't get a seat to sit in. Food was great and service was great. Use to ask for extra crispers... the crunch part of the batter... Hwy 12 had just been 5 laned.

That's what she said.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
