The Shrimp Shack

If your need a deep fried seafood fix. Look no further this place is legit what you need. You can never go wrong with halibut and chips. If you're into oysters this place definitely does them right. The pop corn shrimp are also a favorite. After May 1st each year they sell fresh local shrimp by the pound. FYI. Enjoy!

We went in September, and their season for fresh shrimp was over already. I should’ve known this before I took a drive up here for fresh shrimp, but that was my fault. So if you are looking for fresh shrimp, make sure they have it, which runs around May through August!

We ordered a shrimp popcorn and a shrimp burger. The shrimp popcorn was probably the best shrimp popcorn we had at any restaurant. Also, the shrimp burger was on a different level - their patty was literally a clump of shrimps, and you can see this in my photo. Fries were also a bomb. I need to come again for their fresh shrimp.

Tips: Come during fresh shrimp season

Always wanted to stop by this place. My daughter and I stopped by finally, after hearing my mom and dad suggest it for years. Glad we did! Ordered the Fish and Chips and the Shack Burger. Really good. The fish was kind of bland, but the tartar sauce and lemon made it taste great, really crispy! Burger was huge. The whole lunch was way too much for 2 people! Huge portions. The French fries are amazing! My mom raves about the size of the shrimp, so next time I'll try that too! Service-wonderful!

The Shrimp Shack was an enjoyable restaurant to experience. It's unpretentious and homey. The portion sizes are nice. The Popcorn Shrimp with the fries are excellent. The Blue Crab burger was okay -- I don't agree with other people's positive reviews. The Clam Chowder is pleasant, but I wish it had more clams. I ordered the 16 oz, and it's a nice size. The service is topnotch. Very friendly and accommodating.

I really wanted to love this place, we stopped here to try the fried shrimp, while in the area on vacation. it just didn't have any seasoning...I poured salt on to add flavor, I think its because they use a tempura batter. Which I am not a huge fan of. We get fresh local shrimp on the East coast all the time, they did tell us that the jumbo shrimp was not local as it was not in season just yet, so I'm sure the shrimp is better tasting when local. Add some old bay to your batter...you will have people flocking to this quaint little shack.
