Paul's Seafood and Oyster Bar

We had been hunkered down because of Hurricane Rita. Decided we had to get out and survey the storm damage. If we were stopped by police we would show John's Press ID.

This was the only place we could find open. We had always talked about eating here. I guess it is the allure of eating in a building shaped like a boat. We ordered a bowl of gumbo, stuffed shrimp, and fries. The gumbo was too hot (spicy) for me. The stuffed shrimp tasted like they used stove top stuffing and the order of fries were small.

The place was packed with people. I think everyone had the same need to just get out. It is more a bar then a restaurant.
