While vacationing on the Gulf Coast last weekend, I noticed an entire family at the grocery store wearing cheesy souvenir flourescent tie-dye t-shirts from the local Joe's Crab Shack franchise. Never mind that we were in "the World's Luckiest Fishing Village," abundant with excellent, local seafood restaurants that serve fresh "catch of the day" selections from the local fishing fleets. But recent retail development has brought in a Joe's Crab Shack (chain) and Landry's Seafood House (chain) to compliment the existing Red Lobster (chain) and Captain D's (chain) that were already down there.
For some reason, a lot of tourists go to eat at these restaurants at the beach, opting for previously frozen seafood that was possibly harvested in some tank or farm or whatever. Then, with their t-shirts to prove it, they can go back home and say "We ate seafood at the beach!" Give me a break. Go eat at Nick's On The Beach, The Crab Trap, Captain Dave's or some local hole-in-the-wall if you want the real thing. With the exception of Captain D's the prices will probably even be better.
