Fried Shrimp @ Vera's
I am not a fan of fried shrimp. When they land in front of me, it's only because I'm sharing a seafood platter with my wife (who loves seafood platters). She also loves fried shrimp, and she gets all of them while I hoard the fried oysters. So it's high praise for me to make an exception for the fried shrimp at Vera's. The size and quality of the shrimp are everything they ought to be. The coating is crisp and nicely seasoned. They even present them beautifully, in a ring around the fries and salad. Worth the trip across the lake for fried shrimp fanatics.
