Hepatitis C Diet and Organic Foods

We live in FL . . Gulf of Mexico. Don't fish much due to my husbands health, but not real confident of the fish in this area anyhow after the oil spill. We do have crab traps out for Stone Crab . .they're Ok aren't they? Scallop season is a few months away too . .hopefully its a good season.

We've been to the IGFA museum in Ft lauderdale . . great place, right next door to bass pro shop!!

We didn't get any oil here in Tampa Bay, or so they say. The scallops are further north tho (where we go scalloping) not so much in the oil area, but just south of it. We kept our traps in the bay this year, so far so good. My husband isn't well enough to go offshore. he was on lasiks too so the sun was a no no. he has to have someone go with him too . . he;s too weak to pull the anchor or even the traps now.

Alligator!! YUM YUM!! I used to manage a biker bar in Orlando and we would splurge for gator tail every now and then. I cooked it in a beer batter, fried . . really good. Alot of restaurants over cook it . .and alot of other seafood too. My Dad was a commercial fisherman when i was young and we lived off seafood . . thought we had it rough!!LOL!! If you have a recipe for the sodium free scallops and herb pasta . . I'd love it. The last year with no sodium in my cooking has been a real challenge . .we don't eat potatoes or grits any more!!

I think alligator taste like a fishy chicken taste. I have never had it either, Connie. Cable Poodle why don't you eat potatoes? There loaded with potassium and have next to none sodium content. I usually have a baked Spud with a dab of unsalted butter, pepper, small tblspn of sour cream & chives.

We've stayed away from potatoes becuase we've a;ways eaten them salted,bland without the salt. We use unsalted butter . .I'vve switched to sweet potatoes for baking potatoes, but we don't eat much of those either. A few times a month. I've doubled up on vegies and usually have a lettuce and spinach salad, with a small peice of meat. I found out from this site that red meat is out . . so no more of that. Most of my husbands meat goes to the dog!

Alligator is alot like lobster , , nice and tender and flakey unless over cooked. We used to deep fry it in beer batter (flour and beer, with horse radish for a zing) when I managed a bar in Orlando. Shark is also good that way. As long as it's not over cooked very tasty!

I'm making shrimp in a creamy garlic sauce over pasta tonight . . ya'all inspired me THANKS!!
