Fried Okra

Is that a real question or is 'fried okra' a code word for something else..? If it's only fried okra that i seek, i'd stay away from Seaside, that'll cost you...
Good Luck...

:lolabove: I don't even know where to start with code name 'fried okra'😀

I don't know of any places that do the real deal anymore. Most use the pre-breaded, frozen type. Murray's in DFS serves it but I don't think it's fresh.

Fannons on 83 N. might?

Busy Bee and Murray's both have fresh fried green tomatoes. Bee's fried green tomato sandwich is kick butt.

You might need to get in good with someones Granny if you have a craving for the real deal.:wave:

the best fried okra I've ever had around here (and nearly the best I've ever had period) is at Daddy's BBQ in PCB, back beach road. yummmmmmeeeeeeee. it's not far. go and get it. I believe they are only open for breakfast and lunch. you'll enjoy the rest of the food too, and at a very reasonable price.

Delta Kitchen, in Freeport. -- the real deal, and the best around, by far, unless you could raise my grandma from the dead, and get her to cook some. I do have her recipe in my head, but I cannot quite duplicate her cookin' of fried okra. One trick is to use a little cornmeal with the flour.

I adore fried okra! Grew up eating it. But my hubby from Wisconsin has never accommodated me on this, so I don't ever cook it. That and turnip or collard greens. :(

He likes some weird stuff. Like rhubarb. I saw some at Publix yesterday -- shocked me -- almost bought it, but I decided if he won't eat my okra and collards, I'm not gonna reward him by serving rhubarb.

Fried okry is on my list of top ten faves of all time forever and ever. :wub:

Mine too. Our son used to call it fried eyeballs. My Daddy grew in his garden and FBB cooked it up. We never had any at the dinner table. We gobbled it up like popcorn. Wonder how many WW points that would be? :confused::wave:

Numbers don't go that high. :yikes::bang:

;-) that's what those bonus points are for. A piece of fried okra. :funn:

I like the fried okra at Sunnyside Grill and also at Mike's Diner, both in PCB on Front Beach Road.

I like Mike's Diner and get fried okra every time. Believe me, if you like Mike's, you will love Delta Kitchen's.

GTTBM, :clap: That brings back memories. I remember when my grandmother would stay with us to babysit, during the summers. That lady could cook! Too frequently, my brother and I would wait as she cooked, and when she pulled them out of the pan or fryer, we would let the okra cool for maybe thirty seconds and eat, even though it usually burned our mouths. We'd be finished with that batch before she'd dip out the next. I love me some fried okra and my grandmas. :wub:

Heck, Mama used to just boil it and serve it all slimy. Still loved it.

FBB and I always make a trip, or two to Mike's. I try hard not to order the okra, but always cave and get it. We are definitely going to try Delta Kitchen next trip down. I adore good home cooked veggies. We are working on Camden. He's a veggie hater. :( That's not gonna work in our family.

How in the world have I missed Delta Kitchen? Where is it?

In the new plaza on 331 South.

Thanks! I'll go soon.

Had some fried okra with catfish fillets, and black eye peas tonight, with cornbread, yummy. 😀

now, we're big fried okrey people around here, the kind rolled in cornmeal and fried in bacon grease. and I hate to say this, but Delta's fried okrey was not nearly good enough for me. it was big and heavy, not small and crispy. in other words, it seemed to come out of the frozen bag. sorry, but that was my take. not that it was bad, but it wasn't mom's.

at daddy's we order a basket for an appetizer. pretty close to mom's. the closest I've ever had in a restaurant.

never tried Mike's Diner - will have to look it up. we're discovering more and more over in PCB as far as good food. I need to tell ya'll about the Pasta Grill... another thread.

if you've never had hot pickled okra in a bloody mary, you should try it.:drool:

Wench lunch!

FBB and I forced Miss Kitty to go with us one day. She had business to attend to in pcb. So we "Drove Miss Kitty" and made her got to Mike's with us. I think she liked us. Score one for us. We have a personal goal to drag her to every dive we know. :floor:

Tootsie, Delta's is better than Mikes, on all accounts. However, I don't think Delta uses cornmeal in their breading, like grandma used to make it. Also, my grandma used to slice it thinner and over fry it slightly to get it crisp. I don't think a restaurant in NW FL makes it like that. Delta Kitchen's is definitely not grandma's, but it is freshly breaded and cooked.

I had an Kitty Special, tonight, at home! Delicious, but has nothing to do with Fried Okra.

That's how my grandmother made it--thin and crispy--all cornmeal. Oh my gosh, I'm gonna dream about it tonight. :wub:
