In season 24, episode 7 of "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," host Guy Fieri visits eateries that specialize in creating delicious seafood dishes infused with smokey flavors.
The first stop on Guy's journey takes him to a family-owned restaurant in Arizona that boasts a secret family recipe for brisket burnt ends. The owner, who is also the pitmaster, smokes the brisket for 14 hours, and the tender meat is then tossed in a sweet and tangy sauce before being served as burnt ends.
Next, Guy heads to a seafood-focused restaurant in Michigan where the chef smokes their fish over fruitwood. The smoked fish is featured in a variety of dishes, including a smoked fish dip, which Guy describes as "ridiculously good."
The third stop brings Guy to a seafood shack in North Carolina that specializes in all things seafood. The owner sources his fish fresh every morning from a local catch, and then cooks them in a traditional Southern style. The standout dish here is the smoked stuffed shrimp, which is stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeño before being smoked and served with a tangy dipping sauce.
Guy's final stop takes him to a Texas restaurant that serves up both barbecue and seafood dishes. The owner, who hails from Louisiana, infuses a Cajun-style seasoning into his smoked salmon dip, which Guy describes as "bringing the party to your mouth."
Throughout the episode, Guy not only eats delicious food but also gets a chance to see the smoking process and some of the unique ways each eatery prepares their dishes. The episode is a must-see for seafood lovers and anyone looking to try new and exciting smoked dishes.
