When one thinks of Southern food, fried dishes often come to mind. Well last weekend, that stereotype was 100% true!

On Saturday, Adam, Kiwi, Sarah and I went out to eat at Seafood Junction Too in Byhalia, MS. Byhalia is about 15 minutes south of Memphis. Kiwi used to work at this place about two years ago and since I love seafood, I was looking forward to it.
It wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, however. Granted I do live in the South, there are very few times that I actually find myself saying “wow, this is VERY southern”. Saturday was one of those rare occasions

Adam and I decided on the buffet, which was filled with all kinds of seafood and other fried foods, some I had never tried before.

Adam is demonstrating the proper way to eat fried frog legs. I tried frog legs too, but only ate one leg… wasn’t too thrilled with the taste. And no, it really didn’t taste much like chicken lol.
Overall the food was really good, especially the shrimp and fried catfish. Oh, and the chocolate brownie dessert was absolutely delicious! I would definitely go back to Seafood Junction Too just for the shrimp and catfish

MMMmmm, BBQ heaven!

On Sunday, I got a chance to try another new fried food: fried broccoli. Kiwi works at a fast food place called Abbays. Their slogan says it all; “How the South does fast food”.
I have heard Kiwi talk about the fried broccoli before but hadn’t had a chance to try it for myself. So, that is exactly what I did…

The broccoli was alright, but a little too spicy for my liking. Ranch dressing helped this, but I am not sure I would order it again.
