This is one of my favorite beach restaurants, EVER! I have tried this at home, but I cannot make a shrimp burger like theirs.....Just a mouthful of goodness, and when you have had 2 or 3, then you can get the blackened flounder sandwich! MMMMMM! :>
There are some tables to eat there in the screened in porch, or you can take back to your beach house---I have been staying in a rented house nearby on Hunting Island.

closed on Sundays and they only take cash.......

Favorite Dish: Shrimp Burgers!

Gay Fish Co, is right across the road from the Shrimp Shack-----
This is THE place to come while staying in a nearby rental house, for all your seafood needs---they usually have fresh caught, flounder, tuna, grouper and shrimp, all caught from their own boats every day and unloaded early mornings---they open at 9 until 5, closed on sundays and take all credit cards.....they have a little other stuff like cocktail sauce, lemons and a few other items and plenty of ice....great location and a good photo op with all their boats and nets----

What to buy: fish and shrimp

What to pay: shrimp---$7-9 a pound
grouper filets----12.99 a pound
flounder filets----9.99 a pound
