I just had a conversation with a family member who believes the fresh shrimp in Mobile are much better than the ones in Seagrove area. Any truth to this idea?

I think a taste test is definitely called for. Several pounds of BOTH varieties side-by-side. Otherwise how are you going to know?

Yes you are correct, so where is the seafood in the area come from?
got any pics?
there is usually a shrimp boat parked at the 331 bridge. My brothers always buy shrimp there and say it's good.

Yup , I think it the heads on stuff too. They claim the shrimps have more flavor that way

Actually if you've ever lived in NOLA as I have, bought a bushel of crawfish, sucked the heads, and thrown the remains into Lake Pontchartrain (while drinking Dixie beer), you'd understand.

Forget the mudbugs, but give me the Dixie beer. Love that stuff! :clap_1:

Aargh! I remember the first time I was served shrimp with the heads on...still makes me shudder!

Yes, that stuff in a crustacean's head is very yummy. Too bad that it is absolutely loaded with the Big C (cholesterol). Shrimp are pretty good in that way without the heads, though. Those antennae always tickle my throat going down, anyway.

I love me some good head-on shrimp. You have not tasted flavorable shrimp until you've tried some fresh head-on shrimp.
