EUREKA ! ! !






I finally found a joint that serves boiled blue point crabs. "Nick's" is located on the north eastern shore of Choctawhatchee Bay on Hwy 20 between Freeport and Niceville. Real country place. It reminds me of the crab joints we went to when I was a kid: Levy's at Cypremort Point, (the old) Guiding Star in Lydia, the Levee Bar at Butte LaRose. Those were great places. Nick's is on the Bay at the mouth of Basin Bayou. It has both dead and live animals hanging around. A sandy beach for the kids to play. Cold beer for the bigger kids. This part of Florida has many Alabama and Auburn fans. There was even some LSU football gear lying around. All around great place to spend a Sunday afternoon eating crab and drinking beer. I give it ***** (five stars).
