Hi! We're here on 30-A and loving it. Read about the Gravel Road all you can eat Fish Fry...Is it great? What time does it start? Thanks
I am certain the Gravel Road never uses frozen food service seafood and the food is excellent. All shrimp take on certain undesirable flavors from the water they live in and they can take on a metallic taste at times. Anyone who has any doubts i encourage to have a meal at The Gravel Road. If you don't agree the food is fantastic please let me know. I am the manager here and I stand behind the quality and flavor of all our food. Please fell free to contact me at 850-534-0960.

Respectfully, Ron (and I believe we spoke with you in February, because this is the same story we were given by the manager during our February 17th lunch visit for the fish fry - that a metallic taste is sometimes "natural" in shrimp and that therefore there was nothing wrong with anything that we were served) - we are just going to have to agree to disagree about that concept and about the food at Gravel Road being excellent, at least on the day I visited. The seafood we were served (shrimp and crabcake) smelled and tasted of chemistry, not metal, and had no fresh flavor or texture whatsoever; the term I used on my blog was "inedible." The local finfish (Mahi) was very very good, and the farm-raised catfish/basa was what one would expect from that product - edible, but nothing special. I agree with Douglas.
