My son bought a new Dodge Ram pick up truck recently and wanted a spray in bed liner so I told him I would do that for his Christmas present. Today we dropped the truck off around eleven then drove to Pat's of Henderson for a throw down lunch. We just beat the main lunch crowd so we got a good table and a good waitress that we told not to rush us we were here to eat for a while. She brought us some complimentary fried catfish bites that were good and we started off with appetizers of a dozen raw oysters each and a cold Corona beer, right behind the oysters came 8 golfball size deep fried crab balls that were to die for. We ordered another beer and the menu again. I asked to order family style and got 2 blackened redfish topped with crab etouffee, a half shrimp half oyster dinner with fries, two fried soft shell crabs and four fried frog legs with more fries completed the meal with little cups of tarter sauce drawn butter and cocktail sauce, We ordered another beer.
I ate a dozen raw oysters
2 crab balls with tarter sauce
1 blackened redfish fillet topped with crab etouffee
1 fried softshell crab
6 fried shrimp
6 fried oysters
2 fried frog legs
2 hush puppies
a bunch of french fries
a little bit of jambalaya
drank 5 beers son drank 6, I had to drive.
We got a go box with a big container of seafood gumbo and rice that came with the dinners we didn't eat, 4 crab balls, some catfish bites, alligator bites and some fried crawfish they brought with a few more hushpuppies. We passed on desert but reclined with a brandy snifter with Grand Marnier. Our waitress asked how the meal was, we said fantastic and it was, and she laid the check between us. My son looked at the $212.25 and nudged it in my direction. We burned over two hours at lunch so we car shoppe for another hour and a half before picking his truck up. They did a nice job on his bed.
I cook good seafood but sometimes going to a good seafood restaurant and letting someone else do all the work is therapeutic. Tomorrow we all go out for steak at a new Japanese steak house I want to try.
