Heard some good reviews about a restaurant called the Shrimp Basket so we thought we'd give it a go. Two guys own it and they have 5 or 6 stores located in most cities around this area. We visited the closest one to us at Perdido Bay. It's a small spot and no frills, but had really good food. We had very good, although somewhat small, oysters (dozen) on the half shell to start. These particular ones were from south Florida on the gulf. Afterwards, we both had a cup of gumbo and it was really good only it lacked seafood. I had fried fish which was "all you could eat" and Gina tried the Mahi Fish Tacos. We both thought this was really good somewhat inexpensive seafood.
Early evening, Gina and I headed to the beach behind Voyager here at the NAS. Grabbed my fishing pole and decided to try a little bit of fishing and enjoy the cooler weather that blew in today. It was fun, and we caught 4 sea catfish. Called my step-dad who lives in Pascagoula and he informed me that the fish were edible, but not one of the better fish with the flesh being mushy. When I got back, Internet confirmed exactly that. We'd already let them go.
