I'm wondering what restaurant (in the sowal area) serves your favorite fried shrimp?

Goatfeather's Seafood or Shrimpers before I perform the following:
Purchase several pounds
Peel (except tail), de-vein, and butterfly them
Dip in egg wash and roll in crushed saltine's
Fry to golden brown
Serve with a little cocktail sauce (ketchup and horseradish to taste)

Bayou Bill's has very lightly breaded, butterfly shrimp...my favorite restaurant shrimp.

Now that D & K's is gone, Shades at the loop is my favorite now.

JB's Chinese Restaurant in Freeport. Lightly fried and party of the whole buffet. Delicious...

Dusty's in PCB- taste like they jumped out of the Gulf and into the fryer.
Nick's in the Sticks too-

Tried the shrimp poboy at Shade today; the shrimp were nice sized and pretty tasty. I'm thinking I still like Stinky's better than the rest of the places I've had shrimp baskets down here. I do like Seagrove Market Cafe, too-I had their cheesesteak yesterday and it was really great!

Another vote for Nick's in Basin Bayou.

The shrimp at Nick's in Basin Bayou is the BEST! So glad it is just 4 miles from the house. Just have to survive without them on Mondays.

I like Jambone's fried shrimp...great batter and always perfectly cooked.

I thought I heard that ACME (Baytowne) closed last year.

I like to keep Nicks a secret...some places just need to stay locals only!!..LOL

Hubby had shrimp at Jambones last night and he loved them; I thought they had a really nice light batter that was very thin and very crisp.
I think we're going to have to try and find Nick's!

Acme closed down in the winter for a bit - but back up again.

Nick's for me. Why didn't they rebuild/reopen after the fire at the Blue Mountain Beach location? They stayed busy.
