A.W. Shucks

A recent trip to A.W. Shucks off of 22nd Street in Ghent resulted in a wonderful meal, which has come to be the norm at this particular restaurant.  Cary ordered and received the flounder with sides of mashed potatoes and brocolli.  A very healthy option for my beautiful wife.  I ordered the soft shell crab with sides of coleslaw and hush puppies.  I have never had fired soft shell crab before and was not sure how I was going to handle eating the guts of this crab.  It was actually very easy.  It helps that the crabs are covered in frying batter, and the crab guts were likely saturated in oil, thus enhancing the natural flavor of crab guts into fried crab guts.  Fried anything is always better. The coleslaw was plain old coleslaw and the hush puppies were great, coinciding with my expectation from A.W. Shucks.

This is an easy restaurant to go out to because of our repeated and continued success at quality meals when dining at A.W. Shucks.  Sometimes the wait is a little long, and during this encounter the waitress mixed up bills, increasing our wait time by about 10 minutes.  Regardless, we will be back here soon enough.
