Southern flounder fishing suspended
My first seafood was a stuffed crab at Hill’s on the Galveston seawall in the 1940s. Later, summering at my grandmother’s home on the river west of Seguin, we had Sunday dinner at the Aumont Hotel. I ordered fried Gulf trout every time. I don’t know whether they were speckled trout, sand trout, or gafftop catfish -- I loved every bite! 10/25/2023 12:00 AM
