Ben Sargent and his bike roll into the heart of the Bayou, Breaux Bridge, a place that bills itself as the "Crawfish Capital of the World." He joins the local debate as to which is best -- farm-raised or wild-caught crawfish. But Ben's seafood adventures extend beyond freshwater crustaceans to include another staple of the bayou, catfish. Post catch, Ben and local mayor Sherbin Collette drop in on Cafe des Amis, a culinary institution, for some Zydeco music and Cajun catfish with crawfish au gratin sauce.

Straddling his trusty motorcycle, Ben Sargent travels back in time from cosmopolitan Miami to rustic Everglades City, Florida. Whether harvesting spiny lobster in the Atlantic, catching stone crabs in the Gulf of Mexico or "gigging" for frogs in the Everglades, the host of Hook, Line & Dinner discovers that the state's largest city and the country's largest subtropical wilderness have more in common that you might think.

Ben Sargent discovers the foundations for Charleston's current culinary renaissance is the region's rustic lowcountry cuisine and its seemingly timeless union with all things fresh and aquatic. He experiences firsthand the essence of that union in rustic institutions like Bowens Island Restaurant, a local marsh-side oyster house where it's a monumental understatement to say the amenities are sparse. Whether pan-searing sheepshead fish at Husk in historic downtown Charleston or preparing stuffed blue crab at T.W. Graham & Company in nearby McClellanville, Ben's ingredients are nothing if not local.
