If shrimp is your thing, try the Catfish Parlor on Ben White.  I went for the first time last week, ordered the 7 piece shrimp dinner, thinking I would walk away hungry.  I was wrong.  The shrimp were HUGE! On Mondays and Tuesdays they have all you can eat 'cracker jack' shrimp (is that like popcorn shrimp?)

Oh, and the catfish ain't bad either....
