About this title

From the Inside Flap

From the sky, Savannah and the surrounding Low Country resemble an intricate silvery spiderweb of creeks, rivers, marshes, and streams that feed into the Atlantic Ocean. Twice daily, seven-foot tides sweep the intracoastal waterways, nourishing abundant oyster beds. It is a rich marine environment that yields a variety of fresh seafood, and Savannahians have been delighting in their coastal cuisine since the area was first settled in 1733.

In this delightful roundup of the city's classic seafood dishes, gathered from restaurants throughout Savannah, author Janice Shay has divided the featured recipes into the "major food groups"--crab, oysters, fish, and shrimp, with a nod to a few popular "carpetbagger" scallop recipes. From a hearty serving of Tubby's Boiled Shrimp to the complex flavors of Mrs. Wilkes' Seafood Casserole, Shay presents recipes the city's chefs have refined to perfection. They will delight any cook with their simplicity and freshness. Those unfamiliar with Savannah food will be surprised at the soups, stews, and chowders that define their culinary traditions as well as the constant competition among restaurants as to who serves the best crab cake. Dive in and enjoy food that the whole family will love!

From the Back Cover

"This book's a good catch, y'all. My fear is that, after this book hits the shelves, everyone will be buying so much seafood, there won't be enough left for me."
--Martha Giddens Nesbit, author of Savannah Entertains and coauthor of Paula Deen & Friends and Paula Deen Celebrates
