Nick's has all kinds of good seafood and fresh fish from the bay and the gulf. Get whatever was caught that day - flounder, mullet, grouper, etc.
I have not been to Bayou Bill's in a long time. It is very popular and has been packed for decades. Maybe someone who has been to the new building since the rebuild from the fire will chime in.

We go to Bayou Bills on Front Beach. I love their soft shelled crabs. It's pretty kid friendly and when we went after Christmas, it looks like they've replaced the "shops" in the lobby with a raw/grilled oyster bar. Fried shrimp are good and my brother-in-law always had the same fish dish--sorry, can't remember what it is. Lots of other great places to eat in SOWAL and we try to eat at as many as we can, but I do love me a good "captains platter." I'd love to hear some "fried seafood" suggestions.
Captain Anderson's in PCB is always a family favorite.
Nicks is my favorite for any and all seafood!
I've heard good things about Dewey Destin but have never made it out there!!!
PCB is full of seafood joints. SoWal has just about everything but. though you can find lots of fine fresh seafood in fine dining places in SoWal. Summer Kitchen @ Rosemary Beach is one that comes to mind - really delicious fresh fish dishes - very fine dining indeed. Basmati's has a favorite grouper dish - another really nice place to go.
Stinky's Fish Camp is a must in SoWal for good seafood and other selections as well. great burger!

They get pale if they have a bad weather week. They will get their dinner in a pail at BB's. We pick up quite a few of these left behind pails at Grayton every summer.
After enjoying the shrimp at DD I passed by the pick-up truck they use to haul away the trash and noticed numerous empty boxes of frozen fish from Asia .
More details- are we talking fish or shrimp? It's hard to find US shrimp on the menu in a lot of places these days, and I wouldn't hold that against a restaurant. As for fish...There is nothing on their menu that is identified as Vietnamese catfish. If you're convinced they're substituting fish, file a complaint with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
The story just sounds odd to me because in every case of fish substitution I've heard about in these parts, both the invoices and boxes do not identify an Asian point of origin- it's mislabeled that it's domestic.
I crossed paths with Dewey on a work project a few years back, and I like him because he's one of the few people in Destin politics that seems to have both head and heart in the right place, and I don't like to see him accused of something like that.
