re: Have you actually been to College Station?

True, mostly. We have a small winery at Tontitown (where all the WOPS settled) and another one at Goshen. Tontitown used to be known for its Italian dining, and it still is a little bit, but now its mostly just suburban west Springdale.

We have great local golf courses for this area. The Blessing course is outstanding, about five minutes from my house. And Pinnacle in Rogers hosts LPGA annually, about 20 minutes away. There are a few lesser ones in Fayetteville, too.

It's probably because sea food is much more of an acquired taste than red meat.

It all comes down to that fishy taste. Seems people love it or hate it. Otherwise I can't explain a Long John Silvers that has chicken that tastes like fish.

Red meat is also much easier to obtain, so you're just exposed to it much more

In Texas sure. This is red meat central.

With that's said, as a kid I grew up around seafood in NOLA and Alexandria. It was much more common then than beef, which was mostly Ward's burgers when I visited family. Seems like I was always picking around the crawfish in an etouffee, or eating the potatoes at yet crawfish boil. And it isn't any kind of yuck factor, I love Louisiana sausage. Weird.

Thank you for the comment.

Yeah, I responded to it.


What you ate was probably skate, which is what they make knockoff scallops out of.

College station had a pretty good cajun place. Heberts

Shrimp isn't even the best shellfish.

I've been.



Your list is just...



I can't even put it into words. CS is just boring, bland, and full of ugly people in the middle of no where in Texas.

I'll add crawfish to fish ill eat. Shrimp and crawfish

Naa, bruh. We pulled the ray out of the water ourselves.

I'm from tCoast, remember?

It was less chewy than I expected. I expected some sort of mixture between shark, eel, and octopus. It was a pleasant surprise.

Hell, it sat in lemon juice all day though, so that could have definitely made it less chewy and more digestible.

Have you tried LINK ]Abe's in Clear Lake? They're pretty decent.

LINK ]BB's n The Heights is ok too.

ETA: and bite your tongue re: Pappadeaux. I go "ape shite" over NO Pappas restaurant.

Yes I have and the fans were great, had a nice time. My brother has quite a few Aggie friends, one amazingly has over 100 family members that have graduated from A n M.
