Abstract:
In this ongoing series about favorite Southern dishes, Garner dips his spoon into an eastern North Carolina specialty with a rich history--fish stew. He discusses the influence of the Neuse River on fish stew and how the stew is prepared. Two restaurants that serve tasty stew are King's Restaurant (Kinston) and Ken's Restaurant (LaGrange). The annual Grifton Shad Festival is a good opportunity to experience this unique dish.
