On the recommendation from Carol, a sorority sister, we stopped in Kiln, Mississippi for dinner at Jourdan River Seafood. They open at 4:30 and we were the first to enter for the evening. It didn't take long for them to fill up and after dining with them we knew why. Our waiter suggested we start with "magic bread". Magic bread consists of shrimp and tasso (seasoned smoked pork) on french bread with melted cheese served with a marinara sauce. The marinara sauce was chunky, not like the sauce I'm used to but still good. The bread melted in your mouth and really needed no sauce. A new name for this appetizer should be "disappearing bread" since that's exactly what it did.

The main course was just as delightful. We opted for the S.S. Minnow, a combination of Royal Reds, king crab, and snow crab. Royal reds are shrimp that are harvested from waters that are deeper than 600ft. They are the most succulent shrimp I've ever had. If you like seafood, then this restaurant should be on your bucket list. After two hours of shrimp and crabs with no room for dessert (not something my sweet tooth usually passes up) we headed towards our next stop, Florida. Yes, I know my geography and Alabama is between the two but we just drove through it.
