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? :cool:

there is usually a shrimp boat parked at the 331 bridge. My brothers always buy shrimp there and say it's good. :cool:

They're still alive? LOL. I've seen the boat, but I'm scared to buy there. We always buy at Goatfeathers.

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

That might be why if you go to a good Cajun restaurant, like K-Paul's, they still have the heads on. 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! :eek: It was at a seafood place near the SS Alabama in Mobile. Not used to that....our shrimp here in the Midwest are all beheaded before they're served!

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.
