After enjoying the shrimp at DD I passed by the pick-up truck they use to haul away the trash and noticed numerous empty boxes of frozen fish from Asia .:yikes:

I would imagine most restaurants, even seafood restaurants, use some frozen seafood. restaurants serve frozen seafood for the most part while maybe offering a fresh fish of the day. a coastal community really does not serve a ton more fresh fish in restaurants than any other town - at least in my experience. unless you are in a little fishing village with a big fishing industry such as Appalachicola or Fernandina Beach. you can find wonderful fresh seafood around here if you know where to go -but its not on every corner.

Nick's shrimp are second to none in the area...

and they get them block frozen from Argentina! I asked Nick Sr. one time why they got them from there, and he said they taste great and the quality is consistent.

Whatever...they rock! :drool:

Kurt I think you must have moved this for me thanks.

So Nick's is a must. Anybody know how to get there from Grayton.We might even try Bayou Bill's.
 
I found the name Nicks in the sticks here. However the closest Nicks I see is in Freeport and is called Nicks seafood rest. Is that the one?
 
Directions to Nick's-

North on 331, take a left at the intersection of 331 and 20, go about 10 miles, and it is on your left, on the Bay.

Takes about 35-40 minutes to get there from Grayton. And worth the drive.

We had the same experience at a very famous Po Boy restaurant in New Orleans - as we were eating, a handtruck came by out table carrying crates of frozen Vietnamese Basa. This might explain why the grilled "grouper" at DD has been fishy tasting the last two times I was there, while the fried grouper tasted fine - frying covers a thousand sins. While I hope that's not the case - I'd love to hear from someone with more "know".
