My older sister in Arkansas had fish frys. They bought their fish from fish farms along a river nearby. Mama had told me about their fish frys, so when I was back there once, I asked if we could have a fish fry. the guys had everything arranged for it. They had a black pot that they cooked the fish and hush puppies in, we had cole slaw and French Fries with them. Of course the sweet tea. That was the menu. One of my nieces husband's could down a whole platter of fish. When they asked me how many fish to cook for me, I told them 2 or 3 pieces. They just knew I would eat more than that. But with everything else, that was enough for me. But, what a meal. So delicious.

Everyone was welcome to come by and share the good eats. A big iron pot held the ever loved BRUNSWICK STEW. The cook added fresh cut corn and green lima beans for those who liked them.
