I had the good fortune to be stationed in Biloxi Mississippi in the early 80's. You could buy whole shrimp for like $6 a pound. Or you could wade out in the water up to your waist and drag a simple crab net and get them for the price of getting wet.

I used to let these experiences ruin my seafood dining experiences. Then I went back to the Gulf Coast and it dawned on me a good shrimp cocktail that cost $18 dollars is less expensive than a $1,500 dollar trip to the coast.
