I need to take a quick poll. I want to surprise my wife & son by treating them to some primo fried shrimp, but I want to pick it up TONIGHT, so I'm shamelessly pushing for some quick responses. I live on the NW side, and I'm looking for a joint that's in my general area. Thanks!! | ||

Thanks, Jonesy. I'll look them up, but I should have specified that I'm in the Plymouth/Greenfield area at the moment. The rest of you, please gimme a general hint about location. | ||

Shanghai Cafe on Northwestern Hwy. in Southfield might do up some big fried shrimp for you. Or any local Chinese place you know. | ||

Is E&S shrimp on Schaefer and 6 Mile still open? That place used to have the best shrimp... Edit: I just checked and it's still listed there. The number is (313) 345-2777. (Message edited by iheartthed on October 29, 2007) | ||

Scotty Simpsons is closed on Mondays, I think. Scotty's is located 1 block west of Lahser on Fenkell or 5 Mile. | ||

E&S is closed on Monday. Just Perfect is in the running. Dot&Ettas is far enough that the shrimp will not be hot enough by the time I return. About to check into O Quin's and Scotty's. Thanks to all. The poll is still open, keep 'em coming!! | ||

G'Lord Ravine...you & your cravings! You'd think you were a crazed pregnant woman! And yes, what did you end up going with. If I would've saw this thread earlier, I still would've thrown my hat in the ring for Dot & Etta's. | ||

SEVEN MILE SHRIMP PALACE rules! I moved away from 7 and Greenfield 10 years ago, but I still drive out there every once in a while for fried shrimp fish okra chicken whatever. Just a hole in the wall with bullet-proof glass, but highly recommended. Hope this recommendation doesn't come too late! | ||

Long John Silver's (there's actually a location in the city!)? Arthur Treacher's in Dearborn? | ||
Detroitrise Member Username: Detroitrise Post Number: 386 Registered: 09-2007 |
By the way, both O'Quin's and Dot and Etta's both have eastside locations. O'Quin's Shrimp House: Gratiot bet. Van Dyke and E. Grand Blvd. Dot and Etta's Shrimp House: Mack and Holcomb (however, it's ben under construction for the longest). | ||

Detroitrise, The one Long John Silvers I know of in the city is on Grand River @ Archdale, between Greenfield and the Southfield. It's one of those combined places with A & W. Don't know how the shrimp is though. The Arthur Trechers that was on Warren @ Oakman has been closed for years. It was some type of fish & chips place but didn't stay open long. Now it's a meat market. The one that was in Fairlane I think is closed. There might be one along Telegraph somewhere, I don't really know. | ||

Wasn't there an Arthur Treacher's in Northland? | ||

There's an Arthur Treachers on E. 8 mile but I wouldn't buy any shrimp from there. O'Quin's is better. | ||

Before letting this thread slip down the board and out of circulation, I want to sincerely thank everyone who responded with their suggestions. I ended up going to Happy's Pizza, on Plymouth east of Greenfield, mainly because it was extremely close. My wife and son gave the shrimp a thumbs-up, and the batter-dipped fried mushrooms were a hit. I see that Dot & Etta's has a good rep around here, but they are just far enough that the shrimp would have cooled down quite a bit, and microwaving fried shrimp seems like it would decrease the crunch factor and increase the soggy factor. Boy de Smog: Hey!! Whatcha mean? Have I, in the past, revealed some other craving? Actually, I don't care for shrimp, anyway; it was a treat for my wife and son. Again, thanks to all!•••• | ||

This may surprise you but Beirut Palace in Royal Oak has a great shrimp dinner with large succulent shrimp that is not overpowered with too much batter. That place by the zoo has good shrimp also. | ||

"Detroitrise, The one Long John Silvers I know of in the city is on Grand River @ Archdale, between Greenfield and the Southfield." Eh, full blown eastsider here. That one must be new or I'm completely ignorant about that side of town because the only one I knew about was on City Airport's fast food lane (Gratiot and Gunston). It's a complete Long John Silver's by itself. Also, don't forget Red Lobster. :-) |
