Orange Beach, Ala. – (OBA) – If you’re from the area, you know exactly what someone means when they say, "the best fried shrimp in the entire civilized world." They’re talking about Doc’s Seafood Shack. 

Located on Canal Road, Doc’s has been serving up its famous shrimp since 1984—and soon, they’ll be bringing their signature flavors to Foley with a brand-new location.

Southern Living magazine recently unveiled its list of the Top Seafood Shacks in the South, and Doc’s earned an impressive honor, ranking second-best seafood shack in the South for 2025.

For 34 years, this laid-back, flip-flop-friendly spot has welcomed visitors from all over the country, serving up fresh seafood in a no-frills, down-home atmosphere.

Doc and his staff are always cookin’ up boatloads of fresh seafood and their world-famous fried shrimp, and a “build-your-own” delicious seafood platter.

They’re also known to cook up a mess of famous fried fish and a big pot of the seafood gumbo! You can check out their seafood menu and think about your next trip down Canal Road while in the Gulf Coast area.

Plus, Doc’s big on lunch specials, raw oysters, chicken fingers, onion rings, cold draft beer and big ol’ deep water royal red shrimp. 

In short, most locals would agree with Southern Living magazine. Unfortunately, the secret is out.
