If you're tootling through Georgia on Interstate 95 and the smell of the salt air is making you crave seafood, I have your solution. We lived on the Georgia coast when I was little, and the Sunbury Crab Company reminds me of the off-the-beaten-path, fresh-and-local restaurants of my childhood.
Yeah, there's some beachy decor.
There's a Jimmy Buffetesque place to eat outside under the live oaks and Spanish moss.
There's even a dock to stroll out on for a lovely marsh view.
But you see that boat behind Eli? That's where the Sunbury Crab Company's seafood comes from.
The boiled shrimp were plump, firm, and full of flavor. When I tasted other dishes at our table, the fried shrimp and oysters had a breading so light that you could see the food through it. So different than the doughy grease sponges at so many seafood restaurants! The breading had a nice spice to it and actually accentuated the flavor of the seafood. All this with a view of light rain over the spring marsh. I feel like I found a coastal treasure.
