Calabash style

This is one of the very popular seafood restaurants in the area - 'Ella's.' It's been around for quite awhile. Along with several others on 'restaurant row', the specialty is Calabash style seafood - local catches, breaded and deep fried. Good for your cholesterol levels? Not exactly, but it's very tasty. Everything in moderation, yes?

An accompanying side with almost every entre are hush puppies - a southern 'delicacy.' A small dough ball, breaded (with a secret recipe) and deep fried. They're meant to be dipped in butter or honey butter. Again, who's worrying about calorie/cholesterol, right?

Needless to say, we like the style, but indulge only once in awhile due to diet watching!
