Top 5 seafood picks for Thanksgiving

1. Oysters. Put forth your best Southern-inspired oyster stuffing or serve them raw or grilled on the half shell. “There are a lot of good oysters in Florida right now. Oyster stuffing is popular to serve with your turkey,” said Gib Migliano, owner of wholesaler and retailer Save On Seafood in St. Petersburg, Fla. Another great idea is holding an oyster roast such as the “Thanksgiving Eve Oyster Roast” hosted by Michael’s Seafood Restaurant & Catering in Carolina Beach, N.C. The event features “all you can eat” steamed local oysters, along with Captain M’s Famous Seafood Chowder, corn on the cob, Garlic Red Smashed Potatoes and homemade coleslaw.
