The Shrimp Shack - (Near Anacortes, WA)

4 /5 LeAnh N: Shrimp Shack is a super cute spot and absolutely worth the long drive. The shrimp are incredibly sweet. I highly recommend getting the 5 lbs. Pro tips. Bring a cooler and ice, or you can buy ice there if you forget. Have one person stand in the shrimp line while another stands in the hot food line to save time. It’s pet friendly, which is a plus. I also recommend going earlier in the season around May. It gets pretty hot in the summer, and it can be difficult to find a table with shade.

4 /5 Javier Chavez: This is a must go place if you are exploring the area. We tried the fried variety of shrimp, it was great. We didnt notice they were selling shrimp by the pound, well need to try that next time. There is no indoor dining, but there were plenty of picnic tables under a tiny. If the weather is good, no problem. They do sell bottled beer. Overall, a great experience!

5 /5 Grizzlycougar: Great spot for burgers and bags of shrimp. This place is supposedly a local favorite of the people in this city so we had to try it. We got the grilled fish tacos, oyster burger, chowder, and a bag of shrimp. The fish tacos were great. Lots of flavor, lots of meat like a lot, and good sauce. The oyster burger was really good as well. Classic burger, just a bun, meat, and sauce. However, the oyster was surprisingly really good, again a ton of meat, it was oozy out the bun. Another good item is the chowder, I dont think it was the best Ive ever had but it was delicious and I would get it again. Lastly the shrimp bag, their main offering, is good, lots of shrimp. The shrimp have a unique flavor unlike most shrimp you eat. Its a different type of shrimp that you get in restaurants. Good value and worth the try. Highly recommend checking this place out if youre in the area. Note the line starts pretty quickly after they open so be prepared.

5 /5 José Mendoza: Had a really nice experience right from the start; the employee at the window was awesome. We got a couple of their homemade clam chowders in the bread bowls. The chowder was rich, creamy, and really hit the spot. And seriously, those bread bowls were baked just right... so buttery, toasty, and flaky!
