Mobile, AL. Can’t beat the seafood on the causeway or Joe Patty’s in Baldwin County
Florida by far is the seafood state.
BTW, Joe Patti's Seafood is located in Pensacola, FL dipshit.

Between Weeks Bay, Mobile Bay, Wolf Bay, Dixie Bar, Jetties @ Alabama Point and various nearshore and offshore rigs and wrecks. All the same fish species along with shrimp, lobster and crab (including stone crab). These 2 Alabama counties are basically the Florida panhandle.
What other states, other than Florida, have lobster, and stone crab? Now add all the varieties of fish that Florida is absolutely loaded with and the answer is clear.

The Spaniards owned all of that and Louisiana at one time.
If you drove down Highway 90 from New Orleans to Pensacola and stopped at a couple dozen restaurants along the way, you'd probably find a very gradual evolution.

Like BBQ, if you get the freshest seafood and prepare it well, you don't need all the heavy sauces to mask the taste. And it is funny that the people known for their worship of mud bugs would say anything negative about ocean bugs.
You boil crawfish and season the living shite out of them because they are crappy little tasteless mud bugs. You want a superior crustacean, get shrimp.

No, I'm just going to exercise my freedom to dislike lobster.

For fresh quality and taste, South Carolina oysters are head and shoulders better than anything coming from south of here or from the Gulf. It just isn't debatable.
There's a restaurant in downtown Baton Rouge that serves oysters from all over the country. Atlantic oysters are pretty good. I don't know about being better than Gulf oysters, but they're pretty damn good.

Is that why people get lobster and then literally dunk every bite into melted butter?
Lobster is just a butter transport vehicle.

Saying you prefer crawfish to lobster isn't "saying something negative" about lobster.
I, for example, enjoy both crawfish and lobster but they're different seafoods to eat at different occasions, so it's not really comparable.
Crawfish boils are a big part of La seafood culture that bring together family and friends for a big event. It's more than just the seafood itself.
Lobster, while delicious, is not nearly as relevant to Louisiana culture as crawfish is. Lobster isn't a southern thing, while crawfish is.
And yes, crawfish is equally as delicious as lobster. My Texas family won't lift a finger for lobster, but have devoted years to perfecting their crawfish boil recipes/routines to make us Louisianan family members proud.
Saying that needing the sauces and spices for crawfish makes it inferior to lobster is disingenuous. It's part of the preparation. Do you also judge a hamburger based off the meat alone, or does the preparation matter at all?

These are the same people who drown their BBQ in BBQ sauce.

That's about right. Even on to Tampa where you can get smoked mullet, Greek food and not too shabby Cuban sandwiches.

The comparison of lobster to crawfish is one of the dumbest things on this webpage. Sure lobster meat as-is is better than crawfish meat, but there is not a lobster dish out there that holds a candle to a proper crawfish boil or crawfish etouffee.
The best lobster dish I’ve had is a lobster roll, which isn’t even a southeastern thing. Lobster with butter is a relatively bland dish.

Best seafood as in quality, quantity and variety: Florida
Apalachicola Bay Oysters (when available) are the best, no contest.
Best seafood as far as preparation, recipes, etc: Louisiana
Damn those people can cook!

Can’t say for the south, but Maine has some of the best seafood I have ever had. Sorry not quiet on topic, but good seafood is good seafood.

I never understood how a state surrounded on three sides with water has no idea how to cook seafood.
Also, Florida doesn’t have Louisiana Speckled Trout, Blue Claw Crabs, Brown/White Shrimp, Oysters.....
Just to mention a few.
