LOCAL INGREDIENTS INSPIRE OUR RECIPES
Food of this region comes from anything we can hunt, catch or grow. Our
surrounding swamps and bayous provide us alligators, frogs, freshwater
crabs, crawfish, catfish and a wide variety of other animals. Marshlands
provide game birds such as ducks and geese on their migratory routes from
Canada to South America.
Our region's brackish waters and estuaries are created when the Gulf of
Mexico’s saltwater mixes with our freshwater providing abundant seafood
and inspiring recipes containing oysters, shrimp, and saltwater crabs.
Fertile soil sustains gardens and farms to yield bountiful harvests of
sugarcane, Creole tomatoes, sweet potatoes, okra and eggplant along with
other fruits and veggies as found at the German Coast Farmer's Market.
