When Southerners say 'catch of the day' they mean it. The fish might be getting pulled up from the Gulf in snapper season, or be trawled out of waters off of the coast of Louisiana, but fish in the South means one thing: fresh. Whether they're fried, grilled, or broiled, there are so many incredible ways to get fish to the table. Some of our favorite quick-fix recipes celebrate the tastes of the season.
