Shrimp Poboy

I'm not sure what you would call an obvious tourist trap, but taking Mobile Bay's list, I would have assumed Peg Leg Petes and the Grand Marlin were obvious tourist traps. Although the Grand Marlin looks pricey enough that I could believe they can pay astronomical rent and still provide good food. But generally, Pretty much anywhere high traffic in a tourist area is most likely going to be ****** food. I'm generally happy to get just pretty good food that just has tourist prices.
I know the good restaurants are there, but it's too painful for me to try to find them.
If I'm going to Soul Fish, I'm getting the catfish and fries.
I've heard good things about the Fayard's pressed po-boys on the coast. United Deli in Columbus is another gas station (hole in the wall) that has some great po-boys, but theirs are not pressed.
Rips is a good spot. Rusty pelican isn't bad but they aren't as good as they are popular.
Not anymore. I’ll never eat there again. Large poboy with very few shrimp with a small cup of gumbo for $15 bucks at lunch. The large could have passed for a small and I was still hungry after eating. I live in New Orleans so I can be critical. I live within walking distance of Deanies, R&O, and NOLA Food and Spirits. On the coast, I enjoy the shrimp poboy at Steve’s marina. Lots of shrimp.
Jan’s is the best I’ve ever had, hands down.
Side note - if I ever had to choose one last meal, I’d have a hard time choosing between the eggplant pirogue and the blackened flounder from Voleo’s in Lafitte.
This is my go to in New Orleans...

Guy's Po Boys - New Orleans, LA
Specialties: Keep it classic with a fully dressed, and thoughtfully fried, shrimp po' boy. Not down with crispy crustaceans? That's okay; the door's that-a-way.

Shrimp and grits at GTs. Trust me! Thursday night is steak night at Bon Temps, good steak for the money.
I'm going to request a McRib and Shamrock Shake for my last meal, that buy me several more years.
Southside Night Club/Godfather’s Disco in Fat City. Had a Walk Up Sandwich Shop on the outside facing the parking lot. Best Shrimp Poboys ever. But… they also had the best Roast Beef Poboys, slathered with brown gravy dripping from the bread as you tried to eat that monster and drink an ice cold Dixie Beer before slipping inside with your platform shoes, and Dazzling Wide Striped Bell Bottom Pants , ready to turn the ladies on with your hairy chest showing through your half opened Satin Shirt and your Gold Chain hanging around your neck with your white man’s Afro picked out about 6 inches all the way around.
Triangle seafood here in the Hattiesburg is right up there for me. I’ve been thinking it was good. Then I got one Sat night after thinking of this thread.
Bumping this thread. Had a shrimp po boy at Roux 61 in Natchez, highly recommend. Best bread on a po boy we've had in a while.
I live in Tupelo - was on the Gulf Coast piddling around while my wife was at a conference - happened upon Bozo's by chance - holy smokes! Great everything, including the poboys.
The gumbo was the best I've ever had. Far and away the best I've ever had.
I'm not from New Orleans and don't claim any special expertise, but I'm a bonafide food-loving fat boy with 51 years' experience of trying every food I encounter, so I've et quite a lot.
