where the locals eat?
hello everyone,
i am new to the Forum. my girlfriend and i are coming down for the week, and i have no idea where to get some good grub. i hate tourist traps and I'm willing to get off the beaten path for some really good seafood. if you don't mind sharing. what are some restaurants/bars we should check out for good, fresh oysters, fish and other local seafood? some of the restaurants i have seen online have salmon specials, ha. they have some of the best seafood right out their front door and they are shipping in salmon. Thank's for any info!

Welcome to GSPF.com
Must be a dozen such previous threads, try the search engine.
Here's one, plenty of great advice on local eats.
So what is your favorote place to eat at down there?Ragnar Benson:

If you are willing to drive there’s some amazing places in Pensacola / Mobile as well. Most of the places down in OB / GS are fairly touristy.

As mentioned Fishers and The Gulf. Also the Foley location for Wolf Bay Lodge is pretty good. Not too touristy...

Very little local fish served in the area except mullet. Oysters can be local. Shrimp hold about the same odds. Just the sad truth...

I've enjoyed the Tin Top over in Bon Secour, about as far off the beaten path as it gets, but not a long trip. They do serve mostly local/Gulf seafood.

If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

If you want your fish local and fresh, there are a few restaurants they will cook your catch.
