This little local mom & pop seafood shop has been around for a bit with very little PR... I like them already! There's not much to this place, a simple small space behind the building which you will miss if you don't see the small sign out front. If you look at the space it used to be a garage. A fridge, small prep area, 2 induction burners, a sink, a grab and go cooler. Got a couple of po'boys to see what the fuss was about..

Softshell Crab Po'boy. Since, they don't have a fryer, everything is cooked on the induction burners. It won't give you that extra crispy crust but it still came out pretty tasty with some crunchy bits. They dust them in a seasoned flour mix aka Old Bay seasoning. The bread was cold and flexible like, smeared with some mustard remoulade that you could barely taste because the garden salad between the buns was too thick. You couldn't get this thing in your mouth without a bunch of stuff falling out and the crab squooshing up and out. I wished they buttered and toasted the bread a little beforehand. Overall, it's a decent sandwich (not really a po'boy), but nothing to really write home about.

Shrimp Po'boy. Prepared the same way as the crab above but these little suckers just will not stay in place. They pop out every time you take a bite.. I just started eating them in pieces. Decent flavors and shrimp is pretty plump and fresh. Looks like a po'boy but it's still only a sandwich. Still gotta toast that bread a lil.

They sell a few grab and go precooked items for you to reheat at home or just eat it cold... But mostly they sell raw seafood, a little on the pricey side but what do you expect from a small business owner. Just check their list for what's available daily. They are super nice people and you'll want to support them but it won't be on my weekly rotation. Doesn't mean I still won't check out their weekly specials just in case.
