Seafood Dishes, Buffets Spotlight Coastal Dining

The articles highlight a range of seafood experiences, from casual regional dishes and home cooking to destination restaurants. In Jonesboro, Hibachi Grill Supreme Buffet offers an all-you-can-eat spread with crawfish, sushi, Mongolian chicken and made-to-order hibachi, while Virginia Beach’s Captain George’s draws crowds for its crab-leg-focused seafood buffet. Port Aransas’s Virginia’s On the Bay pairs Gulf seafood such as gumbo and crab balls with an open-air marina view. A Vietnamese scad fish salad combines fresh fish with lemon, chili, herbs and peanuts, typically wrapped with rice paper and vegetables and dipped in fish sauce. For special occasions at home, suggested seafood dishes include butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, salmon baked in puff pastry, shrimp scampi and paella.
