Best of Restaurant Bias: The Fish & Seafood List

I'm not a major fan of most "Best of" lists, especially when it comes to restaurants. It took me a while to do this list. It is no secret fried catfish is on my personal "burned out" list and only eat it occasionally. And there are many fried catfish establishments in the area. But they aren't the only non-meat protein game in town. So, these restaurants were picked out weeks ago. Truthfully the hold-up was, I had to decide the direction I wanted to tell why I dislike Best List for this topic.

I think too many Best of Seafood list perpetuates the incorrect belief that all protein that comes out of the water are seafood.

Don't believe me, ask the average person about their favorite seafood & listen to freshwater fish get named. Hence why I classified my list in the way I did, Fish & Seafood. Freshwater places aka rivers & lakes are not the sea aka oceans & gulfs. So, places that only sell catfish, trout, bass, etc., should not be on the Seafood list. Stop allowing consumers to be stupid. Let them be properly educated.

My Top 3 Dallas Area Fish & Seafood

Top Cat: One of the few Fried Catfish eateries that aren't using lab & farm-raised Swai & Tilapia as replacements. (Yes, I said it. Fish should be flaky and not meaty in texture.) It is fried golden & it is seasoned nicely.

Bucky Moonshine's:  Want some delicious crawfish or shrimp etoufée this side of the TX/LA border. This is the place to be. They have nice land items but their seafood & fish dishes are so tasty.

Hook, Line, & Sinker: A "catfish place" that knows it can be made in other ways than fried. Yes, there are shrimp & fries. But there are Grilled catfish, trout, & salmon, and kabobs also. And they taste lovely. I really wish the others would catch on. But until then, Hook, Line, & Sinker is #1 in my book.

Let's remember! All fish is not from the sea. So, that's not seafood. It's just fish. Outspoken_Diva doesn't want you guys speaking foolishly. Especially because these "food insiders" are leading you to. When you know you better, you do better. (I Love That Quote.) Now, I want a few shrimp & veggie kabobs. Oh, Hook, Line...
