AND THE SHRIMP IS..................

So on my last post i told you folks about my quest for the best fried shrimp. I spent an afternoon with my friends (Seth and Mair) I am going to list all the facts then go into my breakdown of each restaurant.

Tony's Pier

Amount of shrimp - 13

Price - $13

Comes with - Steak Fries, Salad w/ french, coleslaw, pickle and all the sauces

NOTE: the shrimp are tail on and they look like u-12 (about 12 per Pound)

Johnny's Reef

Amount of shrimp - 16

Price - $12

Comes with - hand cut thin Fries, coleslaw, pickle and all the sauces

NOTE: the shrimp are tail off and they look like u-16(about 16 per Pound)

Seafood City

Amount of shrimp - 9

Price - $14

Comes with - thin Fries, coleslaw, pickle and all the sauces

NOTE: the shrimp are tail on and they look like u-10(about 10 per Pound)

Lets start with Tony's . The shrimp here where great, they are the only place that does a crisp SEASONED corn meal crust. I liked the flavor and loved the fact that they are sooo crisp.

I grew up eating at this fine establishment and have grown fond of these shrimp. My lovely assistants happen to like these shrimp too.

Johnny's was all about "more for the money" you get 16 shrimp for $12 NOW THATS A GREAT PRICE!!!! and if your looking to feed the FAM and not break the bank.... this is the place. These shrimp are small. The first time i went the crust was coming off the shrimp. I went back and the crust was in place, so maybe that was a one time issue. These shrimp are moist and have nice flavor.(Just a side note, they have the BEST FRENCH FRIES and i love there fried chicken livers YUM!!!)

Seafood City had the largest and most expensive shrimp on the Island. 9 for $14. BUT ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! These shrimp are moist, plump and have such great flavor. They have a light corn meal crust that have no seasoning and lets the flavor of this jumbo shrimp do all the work.... and it works!!!!

I think each of these shrimp are great in there own right!!!! from small and economic, seasoned and crisp to jumbo and moist. they all have a home in my heart!!! I set out on this quest to find the BEST!!! I don't know if i can put one of these shrimp above the other. I think they all are equally great in there own right. I know this may seem like a bull shit answer... but i think they are all winners

Tony's Wins for Flavor and Seasoning

Johnny's Wins for economics

Seafood City Wins for juicy large and naturally yum yum shrimp!!!!!!
