In Virginia Beach fresh shrimp means shrimp that was harvested locally from the ocean, rivers, an inlets in and around the Chesapeake Bay. No fancy ads, no actors in fishing gear, just generations of fishermen and shrimpers bringing that to your plate.
At Beach Pub in Virginia Beach, we continue that tradition. You will see local shrimp and fish on the menu right after it is pulled from local waters. The taste echoes this truth. Fresh shrimp is plump, firm, and not too fishy. Dusted with Old Bay, a pound of steamed shrimp can go down very very fast. It has a natural flavor that seafood lovers cannot resist, and there is no substitute.

Virginia Beach Shrimp Dishes Do Not Have To Be Elaborate
While I have never walked away from a plate of plump fried shrimp, or mountains of Alfredo packed with plump Chesapeake Bay Shrimp, shrimp does not have to be elaborate to be delicious.
Sometimes the simplest seafood dishes are the best
In the age of fad diets new terms are thrown around all the time. I hear words like paleo, high protein, low carb, lean protein, high nutrient foods, ocean to table, and ocean to fork. Some how these became special terms. But for Virginia Beach Seafood houses, it has always been this way.
A pound of our peel and eat steamed shrimp has always been:
- Paleo
- Lean High protein
- Low carbohydrate
- Sourced Ocean To Table
- Harvested Ocean To Fork
These were never really benefits before before the age of seafood processing. It is just that processed foreign shrimp became a normal practice. Food additives you cannot pronounce adorn every package of frozen seafood. Now you really need that guarantee. Beach Pub has never even mentioned these as benefits because we have always served steamed shrimp, and other seafood this way. Accordingly steamed shrimp comes with another guarantee as well.
Steamed Shrimp Comes In It’s Natural Packaging
Steamed shrimp is peel and eat. When it comes to your table you know the only processing that has to be done will come from you. Peel and eat is about as paleo as it can get. No canning, freezing, processing or additives. Just Virginia Beach shrimp that went…
- From the Atlantic
- To the Trawler
- To The Pot
- To Your Plate
