Shrimp n Stuff (39th Street Flagship)
Shrimp 'N Stuff
A budget seafood spot open since 1976 and beloved by locals. Fried Gulf shrimp po'boys and crab balls with okra gumbo are served in paper baskets.
The flagship at the corner of 39th Street and O Avenue has operated since 1976 and is known as a local favorite. Seafood is breaded and fried to order, and nearly everything, including the okra gumbo, is made in-house. The signature is the po'boy stuffed with fried Gulf shrimp, served with tartar sauce, lettuce, tomato and a side such as fries, hushpuppies or coleslaw. The crab balls come with homemade remoulade, and the fried shrimp dinner is also popular. You order at the counter, the decor is simple, and lines move quickly at mealtimes. A second location is on Ball Street downtown. It is about 1 km from Seawall Boulevard and easy to reach by car.
