I will confess that popcorn shrimp and tater tots are two of my guilty pleasures, even though they are both frozen and both pretty much trailer park fare.

So Irishguy ain't all Mr. Fine Eats all the time.

I definitely prefer fresh off the boat shrimp and whenever we go to the coast fresh off the boat seafood is all I eat and normally buy some to take home with me.

I just bought 10 lbs of royal reds and 10 lbs of browns at Gulf Shores. One of the locals steered me to Aquilas.

Texas native that's gonnna be some fine eating!

My first ever foray into royal reds was at Gulf Shores. By Golly, it was excellent! The Boss and I put a BIG dent in our stash on Sunday.

Red Lobster ain't serving any "endless shrimp" that come from the gulf. Those "endless shrimp" are raised in a Taiwanese sewer pit.
Google Asian shrimp farms.
Wild caught gulf shrimp are the only way to go but they're too expensive per pound for an "endless shrimp' night at the red lobster. They put all those sauces on them to cover up that turd juice they were raised in.
