I came to Savannah thinking about seafood – where are the local places?
Our expert who eats well around the world considers the best shrimp and flounder in Savannah are to be found at Papa’s Bar-B-Que on Thur-Sat only; they are on Highway 80 east of downtown in a strip mall on Whitemarsh (the e is silent) Island; call 897-0236 for directions so that you don’t miss it. The Savannah long-time standard was William’s Seafood until it burned to the ground. The Crab Shack 786-9857 near Tybee is the playful place to pick blue crabs, shuck oysters while sitting outside on the deck – we think they went a bit too far with the alligator nursery; they do draw lots of customers. The place for just plain steamed shrimp that really is off the beaten path (unless your are paddling the intercoastal waterway) is Desposito’s in Thunderbolt; call 897-9963 for directions, which you will need. Love’s Fish Camp 925-3616 is on Highway 17 at the Ogeechee River south of Abercorn/204 near I-95. Let us know if you discover a real gem and we will try it.
