Best fried shrimp in this area?

[Anonymous]

Have a hankering for really good fried shrimp. Salt Line doesn't have. Any recs? TIA?

Did you ask Salt Line?

Most places that have shrimp or other seafood will do fried shrimp/seafood plates/platters upon request. They don't put it on the menu because they don't have the fryer capacity to handle a table of six coming in and everyone ordering a fried dish.

Where do you live and how far are you willing to drive?Would shrimp tempura cut it, or do you want a heavier american batter.

Mei Wah — in Friendship Heights. I like the shrimp with spiced salt, but they have a plain version.

I haven’t had the shrimp there, but Jerry’s Seafood is very good overall.

I had a great fried shrimp/fish at the Grillfish in DC on NH Ave. It was only $24 and I had 2 meals out of it. Huge + delish!

This is true. I'm from rural eastern NC (Edenton) and you just don't have it up here. The green beans are all wrong too.
