Combo Platter

[NCHillbilly]

We fried up some Calabash shrimp and Clark's Hill catfish last night, with some fries, jalapeno pups, and homemade cocktail and tartar sauces. Was right edible.
Tried a new breading method with the shrimp-soak them in a wash of egg, mustard, lemon juice, Crystal hot sauce, Creole seasoning and Old Bay for awhile, then dredge them in a mixture of flour and corn starch. Think I'll start doing this from now on.

It just refers to being the style of seafood made famous by the old restaurants in Calabash, NC ( "Seafood Capital of the World," ) and then spread all over the place. Usually what people call Calabash-style shrimp are smaller shrimp that are lightly breaded with an eggwash and seasoned flour instead of dry breading in cornmeal, crumbs, or whatever.
