Dat'l Hook Ya Chowder
What is better than making a tasty chowder? How about a very easy to make chowder using your fresh catch that will knock your socks off! You can use fish, clams, conch, or any seafood of your choice.
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Green Pepper
1 Large Onion
2 Peeled Carrots
5 Celery Sticks
4 Strips of Bacon
5 Medium Size Red Potatoes
32 Ounces Chicken Broth
56 Ounces Diced Tomatoes
8 Ounces Fish Stock ( optional but dawg gone it kicks it up a notch )
As much seafood as you want to Add!
1 Bottle of Dat'l Hook Ya Green Label (Add more as desired for increased heat and flavor)
Dice bacon into small pieces. Cook on medium heat with olive oil in a large pot stirring frequently. Get bacon to a nice light brown color about 8-10 min. Add in nicely diced green pepper, onion, carrots and celery. Cook until onion turns slightly clear and vegetables are tender but not soft, about 10 min. Add in undrained diced tomatoes, chicken broth, fish stock, and a bottle of Dat'l Hook Ya Datil pepper sauce. Simmer covered on low heat for 1 hour. After the 1 hour simmer add potatoes that are diced to about 1/2 inch. Cook for 20 min at the same simmer covered. The potatoes at this point will still be semi hard. Add in your seafood and cook until seafood and potatoes are at consistency you prefer. Enjoy!
Dat'l Hook Ya Wings
Man oh man, do we love wings! Here is an easy way to get them just right. This is more of a crispy wing
4-5 pounds of wings
1 bottle of Hook Ya or Hook Ya too
Into 1 gallon ziploc bag add 2 pounds of wings. Add half a bottle of Hook Ya sauce. Toss wings in the sauce. Squeeze out all of the air. Marinade a minimum of 24 hours in a refrigerator.
Heat grill to 300-325 degrees. Cook wings on indirect heat for 90 minutes. Flip every 20-30 min to keep from overcooking each side. Once you see the color you like, you're done! Slow and low is the best way to get juicy tasty wings. High heat will char the sauce.

Dat'l Hook Ya Bloody Mary
For a tasty spin on a favorite cocktail from one of our loyal customers.
2 Cup V-8 Juice (low sodium)
1/2 Cup Vodka
1 tbsp Horseradish
1 tbs Pickle juice
2 tbs Worcestershire
1 tsp Ground pepper
1 tsp Lime juice
1 tsp hot sauce (Frank’s or Louisiana style for flavor more than heat)
2 tsp (or to taste) Dat’l Hook Ya
Garnish: My standards are lime/lemon wedge, 1/2 celery stalk (depending on size of glass) pickled pepper of some type (whole or sliced), pickled onions, green olives, pickle wedge or slices, shrimp, or anything else that floats the boat (crab leg?!).
Rim the glass: celery salt is classic but you can also mix in some dat’l powder, ground pepper, etc. mix and put on small plate. Before filling the glass with dat’l bloody mix, wet the edge and push the edge into the powder mix.
Mix up all ingredients. Taste. Then add vodka. Add ice to glasses. Add things like pickled peppers, pickles, olive, onions then fill with the mix. Ground a bit of pepper, then put lime/lemon wedge, shrimp, etc. on glass edge. Add celery stalk.
Makes 2 good size servings plus some extra to top off later. Or 4 smaller servings.
