Miss Emily's Seafood Recipes

Emily Smith Schroeder ("Miss Emily")  was born in downtown Charleston, South Carolina and raised by seafood loving parents with a tidal creek in the backyard and shrimp and fish vendors pushing wooden carts down the sidewalk outside the front door.

Emily served as a DNR employee for 30 years, and retired from DNR in 2006.  She has loved being called on over the years to assist with functions that involves food, especially when it comes to preparing seafood dishes.    She loves to set off a dish against a background of beautiful fabrics, flower arrangements, nautical decoration and dishes.  To learn more about Mrs. Emily click here.
