Georgia prepares for availability of 2,4-D and dicamba-resistant crops
Officials urge increased producer education to minimize potential risk of drift, volatility

By Dallas Duncan
The US Department of Agriculture announced in September that two new herbicide-resistant crop varieties will soon become commercially available. It's great news for Georgia cotton and soybean producers, but a headline that causes concern amongst vegetable growers, experts say.
"There's no doubt farmers need the new technology in order to battle some of the weed pests that we have," said Gary W. Black, Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture. "The challenge that goes along with that is that we're not a monoculture in Georgia. We don't have just soybeans and corn. We have soybeans and corn, but we have pecans and a very important vegetable industry. So when you take this technology, there are considerations of drift and volatility."
The technology has, in a sense, been around for a while: 2,4-D and dicamba, the key ingredients in Dow AgroSciences' new Enlist Duo system and the Roundup Ready Xtend system produced by Monsanto and

BASF, respectively, have been registered for decades, University of Georgia Weed Scientists Stanley Culpepper said. They were used as weed control for lawns or to kill weeds in fields at the start or end of growing seasons, said John Combest, spokesman for Monsanto. The herbicides were not able to be sprayed over the top of planted crops during the growing season because of drift concerns.
But now, corn, soybeans and cotton resistant to these herbicides along with new formulations of 2,4-D and dicamba will be available in the 2015 and 2016 growing seasons, said Tommy Gray, the Department's Plant Industry Division director.
"The formulation has changed to make them less volatile, so they won't move offtarget or drift as easily as past formulations," Gray said.
With commercialization of these genetically modified varieties, farmers will be able to use the herbicides on a much wider scale, allowing them access to tools that could improve their arsenal in the fight against damaging weeds, Gray said.
That's because they'll allow farmers to grow cotton seed that's tolerant to three different herbicides: glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup; glufosinate, the key component of Liberty Link; and either 2,4-D or dicamba, Combest said. It's the first time ever farmers will have a "triple stack" trait in a cotton gene to help combat growing issues with Palmer amaranth, commonly referred to as pigweed.
Pigweed developed resistance to glyphosate during the last decade, making it difficult to control, Culpepper said.
"In cotton alone, we spend over $100 million [annually] to control that one plant in that one crop," he said. "We're in desperate need of new technology that will help us manage this plant more efficiently and more economically."
Bill Brim, owner of Lewis Taylor Farms in Tifton, Ga., is well-aware of those issues.
"The [pigweed] bush gets so aggressive, it outgrows the cotton," Brim said. "It gets so big and it gets into your cotton lint and destroys your cotton."

He said his farm is fortunate to be able to afford labor to control pigweed to avoid the need for spray.
Though he's a cotton producer, Brim doesn't plan on planting 2,4-D and dicambaresistant varieties just yet there's a chance that if misused, the herbicides could damage his 6,000 acres of vegetable crops, even though the new formulas are meant to minimize drift.
"It's a good technology if it's used right, and it could be great for the cotton industry and the peanut industry as well down the road, but I'm just a little nervous of the possibility of them not doing what they're supposed to be doing," Brim said. "Last year we had some drift on cantaloupes and lost probably about 15 acres. I can't continue to do that. [Cotton producers] need something that'll work for them, but it's real critical that they do the right thing and the right protocols for whatever they're spraying and to be aware of it. A lot of people don't even think about drift when they go out and spray."
Brim has been a vocal proponent of farmer education for 2,4-D and dicamba use.
"I've been pretty outspoken about it. If it's not done right and managed right, then it could be a disaster for Georgia vegetables," he said. "Monsanto and Dow have reassured me, saying they're going to do whatever it takes to make sure people understand how important it is not to just go out and spray it."
Combest said manufacturers collaborated with producers and academics across the country to determine the needs and best practices for creating and educating about the new genetic tools. He said they heard from a number of producers that there was a need to restrict the use of older, more volatile forms of 2,4-D and dicamba once the new formulas were available. They're forbidding the use of old herbicides over the top of those crops, and added that producers in Georgia do not have to use either herbicide other varieties of seed will still be available if 2,4-D and dicamba are not the best options for a field.
All of those are topics to be discussed during extensive training, which experts say is the best way to ensure 2,4-D and dicamba are

applied appropriately to maximize benefit for resistant crops and minimize risk to susceptible commodities.
There are several factors producers must consider before spraying. First is their environment and sensitive crops in the area to determine whether the herbicides should be sprayed on a field in the first place, Culpepper said. Understanding wind speed is also critical, as is boom height.
"The higher you hold the boom, the more likely the wind is going to catch [spray] and grab it. We're trying to get the best tip that we can and hold that boom as low as possible," he said. "Your selection of spray tip basically controls the size of the droplet that comes out of the boom. A larger droplet is heavier. It's more dense, it falls down more rapidly."
Zippy Duvall, Georgia Farm Bureau president, said farmers are not going to do anything to jeopardize their opportunity to use the new formulas.
"They're so excited about getting them, they're going to be very careful that they don't do anything wrong to make it to where they could not get this technology," he said.
Black said the Department is considering a number of policies to impress upon farmers the importance of safely and responsibly applying 2,4-D and dicamba. Gray said one consideration is to "state restrict" their use, meaning a permit could be required before the herbicides are purchased or sprayed.
"The Department will likely issue warning notices for the first offense drift cases. For repeat offenders and cases of significant drift, a monetary penalty of $1,000 per violation may be imposed," Gray said. "The Department may approach the General Assembly and possibly increase our authority to impose larger monetary fines."
Brim also advises producers who plan to use 2,4-D and dicamba to be insured, just in case drift does occur and damages a neighboring field.
"We all have new technologies coming out," Brim said. "We couldn't farm without new technologies, but it's something we have to learn to deal with and use, and maybe it'll be a good thing for everybody."

GEORGIA GROWN PROFILE: Packer Produce
Regional company aims to be part of entire Georgia Grown local concept

Mail to: Published by the Ga. Department of Agriculture Gary W. Black, Commissioner

By Beth Mohler, fall intern
What started out as a small, home-based business is now a much larger family operation. Brian Tugwell began Packer Produce in 2010 and opened a store at the Moultrie State Farmers Market in 2011.
Packer Produce covers a southwest Georgia region of six counties and focuses on wholesale to school systems, restaurants and institutions such as hospitals and retirement centers. The Moultrie store offers a wide range of products, including fresh and freshfrozen fruits and vegetables plus a selection of specialty items, including Georgia Grown gifts. The company also sells homemade casseroles, old-fashioned desserts and its famous chicken salad.

"I'm trying to focus on the way the farmers markets used to be, where people could bring their produce to sell. That's become a dying art these days, so we're trying to get a lot of locals to come out and support what's here," Tugwell said. "We've found people like to know
who grew it and where it comes from." Packer Produce became a gold member to
make new connections and become part of the Georgia Grown concept, Tugwell said. They went so far as to be involved in Feed My School in 2012.
"We want to be a part of everything agriculture-related in Georgia and therefore we want to be part of Georgia Grown not just the title, but the concept," he said. "It's important to us to not just be Georgia Grown, but to be genuinely locally grown."

FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014

GUEST COLUMN: Come one, come all to the Georgia

National Fair

Twenty-five years ago, the

Georgia Agricultural Exposition

Authority and staff welcomed our

fellow Georgians to the first Georgia

National Fair. And now, with great

pleasure and pride, we welcome all

Georgians to the 25th annual, state-

sponsored Georgia National Fair,

Oct. 2 through 12, 2014, in Perry.

As we approach our 25th fair,

MOORE

supporters can look back with awe at our very first Georgia National

Fair, Oct. 5 through 13, 1990. Former Georgia Rep.

Larry Walker and former US Sen. Sam Nunn were grand

marshals in the Farm City Days Parade. Former Gov.

Joe Frank Harris was the keynote speaker at the opening

ceremony. Approximately 270,677 people drove to Perry

for nine days. In 2013, 449,885 people spent 11 days at

the fair.

Since the first fair, we have stayed true to our mission:

the state of Georgia established the Georgia Agricultural

Exposition Authority to showcase Georgia's agriculture

and agribusiness, to promote the agricultural achieve-

ments of Georgia's young people, to provide a center for

diverse activities to benefit the state's economy and to

stage and promote a statewide fair to accomplish one or

more of the above. The Georgia National Fair appeals to

everyone with its livestock and horse shows, competi-

tive exhibits, food, midway rides and games, commer-

cial vendors, major concerts, street entertainers, family

entertainment, circus and nightly fireworks. There are

several new exciting attractions this year including the

addition of a third evening of free concert entertainment on "WOW Wednesday," featuring Ricky Skaggs and Iron Horse.
The Georgia National Fair is a great value for the entire family. Our educational and entertainment programs are geared towards children, teens, young adults, parents and senior citizens. There truly is something for everyone, while not breaking the budget with over half a million dollars-worth of free entertainment and attractions upon entering the gates!
New attractions this year include the Rail Jam! Wakeboard Show, The Showboat Marionettes and The SwashChucklers! Comedy Pirate Show. The 25th Annual Fair features Georgia-grown artists Lady Antebellum on Oct. 4 and Jennifer Nettles on Oct. 11. Tickets are still available for these fantastic shows, and as always a concert ticket gets you in the gate!
We anticipate young adults who formed early memories attending the Georgia National Fair annually will begin introducing their children to this special experience. You are an integral part of the fabric that weaves the entire event together each year and assists in creating the unique atmosphere only offered here. The Authority and staff are eager to celebrate "Georgia Grown" with you, your family and friends. Join us as we revel in 25 years of the Georgia National Fair!
Randy Moore is the executive director of the Georgia
National Fairgrounds and Agricenter. For more

special events, armband specials and concerts, visit

GUEST COLUMN: Ag community gears up for 2014

Sunbelt

The 37th Annual Sunbelt Ag Expo

is shaping up to be the best ever!

From farmers to merchants, from

students to homemakers, we have

something for everyone. As North

America's Premier Farm Show, we

host 1,200 commercial exhibitors

with more than 4,000 product lines

that feature the latest technologically

advanced goods and services that the

BLALOCK

ag marketplace has to offer. Unique to the Expo is our 600-

acre working research farm where manufacturers and

dealers can demonstrate their latest in equipment.

You are invited to take a front-row seat and see these

innovative products and cutting edge technology might

fit into your operation.

We are delighted to recognize the "Home Team,"

Georgia, as this year's Spotlight State. The Georgia

Spotlight State Committee raised funds from across

our great state to build a permanent exhibit building

for 2014 and beyond. The centerpiece will be the 10

Southeastern state seals that will be inlaid in the floor of

the building.

On Tuesday, Oct. 14, we will be announcing the

25th Swisher Sweets Sunbelt Expo Southeastern

Farmer of the Year. This is always an exciting event

as we again have 10 outstanding nominees. Come see

the latest module on the Go cotton pickers, corn and

soybean combines and hay equipment that we'll show

off in the field demos. New to the exhibits in 2014

is the Rural Lifestyle Section, where you can learn

everything backyard from gardening, chickens, bees

and the list goes on. Unmanned aerial vehicles will

be the centerpiece of the exhibits in AB-1, and UAV

demos will take place in the field demos at 10 a.m. and

1 p.m. daily. See how this amazing technology might

revolutionize your crop scouting tactics.

Then, if it is edu-tainmet that you are looking for, take a look at some amazing stock dogs in action, learn horsemanship at the horse demos and even take a walk back in time at the antique tractor section and parade.
Rather than just kicking the tires, visitors to the Expo will be able to get an up-close and personal driving experience during test rides on specially designed tracks both inside the exhibit grounds and in the field demo area. Company representatives will be on hand to answer questions and review the unique features of their equipment. Located inside the exhibit grounds on the east side will be Chevy, Honda and Yamaha test tracks. John Deere Gators, Titan Tire, Trimble and CanAm test tracks and the UAV demos will be located in the field demo area.
More than 300 interactive educational exhibits, guided tours and demonstrations will showcase how agricultural researchers and educators are addressing important issues, safeguarding and improving our food supply and the environment, and helping to enhance the efficiency and profitability of agriculture and its related industries. We owe our continued success to the hard work and dedication of many, but most especially to our farmers and the agricultural community. You are why we do what we do, and we wouldn't be here without you. So come join the fun and fellowship and leave with a renewed sense of community and confidence in our future as the agricultural leader of the world.
Chip Blalock is the executive director of the Sunbelt
Agricultural Exposition, which will be held Oct. 14
through 16. The Expo is located on Georgia Highway
133, southeast of Moultrie, Ga. The gates open at 8:30
a.m. each day. Admission at the gate is $10 per person,
with children 10 and under admitted free with an adult.
A three-day pass is available for $20. Download the

Letter from the editor
In the Sept. 17 issue, our feature story was on muscadines. Louis Newsome, owner of Blue House Farm in Harlem, Ga., said something in his interview that I found interesting: sometimes you have to do things you're uncomfortable with to market your farm.
Now, he wasn't talking about breaking the law. He was referring to having been filmed by an Augusta-area news crew and being plastered on TV for several days.
But in the end, the uncomfortable situation paid off, and visitors told him they came because they'd seen him on the 6:00 news.
A lot of times in agriculture we must put ourselves in uncomfortable situations to get where we need to be. Maybe for you, uncomfortable means turning on a computer and figuring out what on earth a Twitter is or how to use Facebook. Perhaps discomfort arises when you're trying to plant a new crop that's not usually found in your field, and you tend to err on the side of tradition instead of breaking new ground.
I find myself uncomfortable sometimes when I interview farmers How will they take it when this "young lady" drives up in a Honda Fit instead of a F150 and puts a recorder on their kitchen table and
asks questions about their cows?
No qualms about calling People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. No issues dialing up the Humane Society of the United States. Perfectly fine getting to the office and saying, "I've got to call the Environmental Protection Agency, the White House, Rep. Tom McCall and also probably that dude from Monsanto."
But calling a farmer, for some reason unbeknownst to me, can sometimes be the most intimidating part of my job! Because my job is to learn everything you, as farmers, have to offer, and turn it into some semblance of an exciting story that 40,000 people want to read. No pressure, right?!
Imagine if I let the fear of an uncomfortable situation make my decision and I never interviewed a single farmer. The Market Bulletin would be pretty darn boring, unrelatable and no one would want to subscribe.
And then I'd also probably be out of a job. It boils down to not letting our decisions be guided by discomfort. Imagine if Louis Newsome turned that news crew right around and sent them packing. His farm would undoubtedly not have the same level of notoriety as it has now, and the income provided by his pick-your-own operation would have dipped. Think for a moment about the last time you didn't (or almost didn't) try something new or out of the box because the thought of doing so made you uncomfortable. Was it hiring a farmhand outside the family fold? Was it purchasing a new type of cottonseed? Was it turning part of your beef herd into grass-finished production? Was it changing from certified organic production to conventional, or vice versa? Sure, sometimes we do things that make us squirm a little. We're afraid that they won't turn out right: What if that grass-finished beef doesn't sell ... or what if it sells too fast and I can't keep up with
demand and have to buy more acres and expand the herd? What if
that new cottonseed doesn't grow right or gets infested with a crazy
new pest? What if this story turns out horrible because this farmer
thinks I'm a ditz and won't talk to me?
But however will we know unless we give it a try? At the worst, stepping out of our comfort zone can provide a teachable moment. We'll fail forward, pick ourselves up and move on to something else. At the best, it's an opportunity to discover something new and maybe even improve our profitability and our bottom line. If you knew you couldn't fail, what would you do with your farm? Don't let discomfort guide you. Take a chance and see what going outside of the box could do for your farm and your customers.
Dallas Duncan is the editor of the Market Bulletin. Originally from Evans, Ga., she graduated in May 2011 with a double major in animal
science and agricultural communication from the University of Georgia
College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. She previously
worked for The Red & Black, The Times newspaper in Gainesville, Ga., and Georgia Cattlemen's Association.

"Anything hand-crafted I think is important," said Nancy Thompson, owner of Sassafras Creations of Roswell, Ga. "It's so good to be able to do things with your hands and it's good to be able to support the people who do that in our own community."
Thompson's jewelry, made from recycled metal knitting needles and crochet hooks, was one booth that caught visitors' eyes at the annual Georgia Alpaca FiberFest last month. Nearly 5,000 visited the vendor showcase and attended classes at the event, said organizer Sharon Bogenschutz, owner of Georgian Oaks Farm and Suribunni Fine Fibers in Powder Springs, Ga.
She and Karen Cross, owner of Wake Robin Alpacas and Qivicaya in Bremen, Ga., came up with the idea for FiberFest several years ago. This is Georgia's only festival to focus on fiber instead of a specific fiber artform, such as knitting. FiberFest promotes natural fibers including silk, cotton, flax, wool, angora, mohair and alpaca, Cross said.
"A lot of the people who come are wanting to learn how to do something new. We have classes in dyeing, felting, weaving, crocheting, knitting we even had some rug hooking and tatting this year," she said. "We just try to of-

fer people the chance to use this fiber. It's like, `I've got it, now what do I do with it?'"
Many vendors this year focused on alpaca fiber, including Judy Dick, owner of Walnut Knoll Farm in Canon, Ga. There are two kinds of alpacas common to the US: huacaya and suri.
"The fiber on the huacaya is fluffy, and people that are spinners like that fiber because they say it has memory. It's more bouncy," Dick said. "The suri fiber is very silky and it hangs down straight, and it looks like it's in dreadlocks on the animals. But it makes beautiful, drape-y kinds of products. And then the two combined together make a really wonderful kind of yarn."
Dick and her husband began Walnut Knoll in 2002. They've added Alpaca Bean Coffee Company, made with roasted beans from Peru and Bolivia, the countries alpacas are native to, and are well on their way to opening the South-

ern Alpaca Connection store in Lavonia, Ga. "Our idea is to support alpaca farmers,
especially in Georgia, to be able to sell their products," Dick said. "We have a lot of very inventive Georgia farmers who have some really neat products that they're making, and we want to make sure that they get out in front of the public."
Walnut Knoll's fibers presented the wide range of naturally occurring grays, browns and ivories in alpaca coats, but other vendors displayed yarns spun with neon hues and even glitter.
Stephanie Stratton, owner of LunabudKnits in Nicholasville, Ky., specializes in art yarns, which, like the name suggests, are yarns spun to be individual masterpieces.
"Sometimes there are textural elements that might poke out," she said. "There's also some sparkly bits. A lot of times they're textured,

[with] the lumpy-bumpies in it. Also, some have wool that's just lightly picked apart, so you can really see the lock structure of each wool fiber. It's just really fun when it all comes together and you have a unique piece of yarn that you can wear as it is, or you can knit it into something fun and funky."
Heather Dee, manager of New Era Fiber in Gallatin, Tenn., said fiber is an important part of agriculture because of its use as a renewable resource.
"You can get a cash crop from their fleeces," Dee said. "You can sell a product and still have babies; sell the babies for production farming to other breeders."
Dee specializes in "instant gratification" knitting, which uses size 50 needles 25 millimeters in diameter, to create apparel and rugs. Her company brings in raw fiber from American producers like Walnut Knoll and spins it into yarn. The yarn and products made out of it, including designer sustainable clothing lines, are then distributed back to farmers to sell at their farm stores.
"Once they come out and see how these fiber felt, how they spin, how they weave, the products you can make from it, they get really encouraged and want to go home and support their local farmers," Cross said.
It's is a wide-open market, Dick said. "You think of it as being old timey, the ladies sitting around and knitting and crocheting and weaving, but it's not old timey," she said. "A lot of young people find it really relaxing and a really wonderful way to express themselves."

ARTY'S GARDEN:
Are you a hothead?

FEATURE RECIPE:
Shrimp and cheese grits

My mother is a hothead. She does not lose her temper or have bouts of road rage. She is as calm and patient as any person I know. But she is a hothead a hot pepper hothead.
As a child I remember her dipping a cayenne or some other hot pepper into a little salt and eating it with a tomato sandwich, watching her dab pepperinduced perspiration from her forehead with a napkin and wondering, How does she eat that? and Why? My father eats hot peppers, too, but he could never hold a candle to Mom.
Now that bottles of Tabasco Sauce are de rigueur on tables across the nation and most mid-size cities have a Thai restaurant willing to make dishes as hot as you can bear, my mother's actions don't seem as uncommon. Hot has gone mainstream. Daring cooks of 40 years ago who had only a few hot peppers to choose from can now select from an arsenal that includes jalapeo, cayenne, serrano, Korean, Thai, ghost, Scotch bonnet, habanero and more.
The spicy quality of peppers led Columbus to mistakenly think they were related to black pepper when he encountered them on one of his voyages to the New World. Even though the two are not related, the pepper moniker stuck, although they are also referred to as chiles, chile peppers or chili peppers.
Hot peppers can be attractive, fun, exciting and a little scary. You are never going to see a string of

dried Brussels sprouts hanging in a kitchen or on a Christmas wreath, and you are unlikely to see a rockand-roll band calling itself the Cold Irish Potatoes. Ristras and wreaths of peppers and music of the Red Hot Chili Peppers are favorites of many people, however.
Georgia farmers grow numerous kinds of peppers, sweet and hot. They are available all summer and into the fall. Peppers can be frozen or dried to liven up winter dishes.
Next spring you may want to grow some of your own. You don't have to have a vegetable garden they can be grown in pots and are attractive enough to fit into your flower garden. One favorite I have grown is the habanero. They ripened to the deceptive color of orange sherbet and had a distinctive flavor in addition to a delightfully searing heat.
Somewhere over the years, and despite my early reluctance, I became a hothead, too. I don't remember when it happened, but now I adore hot peppers. Perhaps it's genetic.
If only I inherited the patience of my mother ...
Arty Schronce is the Department's resident gar-
dening expert and hothead/chilehead. He loves hot
peppers, especially at breakfast, and says "Eating
hot peppers followed by hot coffee is like having a
roller coaster in your mouth!"

Editor's Note: Celebrate Georgia's seafood with this tasty treat! Happy Wyatt, manager of the Macon State Farmers Market, makes hers a true Georgia-grown delight with Georgia Olive Farms olive oil, Gayla's Grits and Wild Georgia Shrimp. She advises to top it off with your favorite quick brown gravy, if desired.

Ingredients: For the grits: 14-ounce can low-sodium, fat-free
chicken broth 1 cup cream or half and half 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup uncooked stone-ground grits 3/4 cup shredded 2 percent reduced-fat
sharp cheddar cheese 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

For the shrimp: 2 bacon slices 1 pound medium-size raw shrimp 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 teaspoons olive oil 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1 cup low-sodium, fat-free chicken
broth 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Instructions: 1. Peel and devein shrimp. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper. 2. Bring the half-teaspoon salt, can of chicken broth, cream or half and half to a boil
along with one and one-third cup water over medium-high heat. 3. Gradually whisk in grits. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for
10 minutes or until thickened. 4. While grits are thickening, cook bacon in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-
high heat for 10 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels and reserve one teaspoon of drippings in the skillet. 5. Add green onions to the hot drippings and saut for two minutes. Add the shrimp and saut for two more minutes, or until shrimp are lightly browned. 6. Stir in the remaining chicken broth, lemon juice and hot sauce. Cook two more minutes, stirring to loosen particles from the bottom of the skillet. 7. Crumble bacon. Stir cheddar, parmesan and white pepper into grits. 8. Spoon shrimp mixture over hot cheese grits and sprinkle with crumbled bacon.

Seafood eateries making waves in Georgia's restaurant community

By Dallas Duncan
Editor's Note: This is the final installment
in a series on Georgia's seafood industry.
There are renowned seafood restaurants across Georgia, even hundreds of miles from the state's coastline.
"When you think of Atlanta, you don't really think of seafood right off the bat," said Adam Evans, executive chef of The Optimist in Atlanta, Ga. "The fact is, a lot of people are eating seafood here and a lot of people are eating seafood in general."
Terry Marshall, owner of Charles' Seafood Restaurant in Tifton, Ga., said the boom is because of health benefits.
"All of your oily fishes, they've got omega-3. I think maybe people are just trying to eat healthier," he said. "In my particular business, I've seen an uptick in grilled grouper, grilled salmon, grilled everything."
That being said, his most popular dish is still fried catfish.
"We're an old-fashioned fish house. You just don't see them family-owned and operated now," Marshall said.
Charles' Seafood Restaurant's started when Marshall's uncle turned his Navy cooking and deli-owning background into a doughnut shop for his wife, and added a fish market onto it. That later became a restaurant.
The Crab Shack in Tybee Island, Ga., has a similar story of fishing-hobby-turned-career. Co-owner Jack Flanaigan decided to serve food to his charter boat customers once they came ashore. Today, diners flock to the restau-

rant for its specialties: low country boil and the Capt'N Crab's Sampler platter, which is piled high with seasonal shellfish, corn, potatoes and sausage.
"We don't fry anything. It's all steamed or boiled or barbecued," Flanigan said. "Georgia's got the best seafood. We just serve food here the way people used to serve it on their back porch: boil it up, throw it on the table; shells on the shrimp and crab. Just good oldfashioned low country cooking."
Seafood on Georgia's restaurant menus comes from all over. Restaurants contract with purveyors who bring in and distribute fresh products daily, said Erica Cascio, co-owner of Square One Fish Co. in Athens, Ga.
Square One's contribution to Georgia seafood is Floridian style.
"There's a lot of citrus, a lot of rice and beans," Cascio said. "It's lighter, it's brighter. You use some sauces, but you don't want to cover the fish up, because you're showcasing your fresh product."
The restaurant's top dishes include grouper Portobello a grouper filet with mushrooms and anything with tuna.
"Our No. 1 selling item, where we sell the highest volume that I've ever seen, even when we were in Florida, was Apalachicola oysters," Cascio said. "I've never seen people eat so many oysters in my life."
At Evans' restaurant, there's one dish people come back for: shell-on Georgia shrimp.
"The guy fishes out of Brunswick. He brings us these beautiful whole Georgia shrimp, and they're fresh and really awesome brown shrimp," Evans said. "It's cooked a la

plancha, which is a flat-top style cooking surface, just seared with a little salt and a little bit of oil. We do a piece of griddled bread with it and a chili-lime butter sauce. People love that."
Another Georgia product highlighted is the Sapelo Island clam. Both Evans and Todd Richards, owner and executive chef at The Pig & The Pearl in Atlanta, Ga., find Georgia's native clams pair well with meat.
"What I like about Georgia clams is that they have a little bit more earth in them," Richards said. "You can put a piece of smoked pork next to this clam and it won't get overshadowed because it's got enough bottom in it."
He said the best way to eat clams and oysters is right out of the shell, but for those who get squeamish at the idea of raw seafood, lightly smoke them on the grill or next to fire.
Cascio offered myriad tips for buying seafood: check for bright red veins and capillaries, a fresh smell and firm, moist texture. She also advises to try eating whole fish.
"When you cook chicken with the bones in it, the marrow sweats flavor into the meat. Same with fish," she said. "The gills, the jawbone has some meat in it; the fins are like little potato chips."
Cascio said thicker cuts swordfish, tuna and salmon are best "a little less done." Shellfish should be cooked until they're opaque.
Evans said not to overthink the process. "Just use simple techniques. The same way you would roast a pork chop, you roast a fish," he said. "It is a very delicate thing, but it all comes back to practicing and to find a recipe that works for you, what cooking equipment

you have and the skills you have." But no matter, Evans recommends trying
what the Peach State's waters have to offer. "I think it's a great time to eat seafood, and
specifically seafood from this region," Evans said. "You don't have to buy frozen Vietnamese shrimp. We can support the local shrimp programs that are close to us, and that'll only get better over time."
