The son of my dad's old Army buddy (who lives near him) is the captain of a shrimp boat in Darien GA.
When we're down there, we eat FRESH seafood -- as in "we held the bucket under the sorter" fresh.
Yup, I know exactly the kind of fresh you're talking about!
I live in a rural area without too main chains, which is fine by me. Chain "restaurant" around here consists of fast food.
I gave up on the Darden type chains years ago, with the exception of OL, but even that it has been at least 5, if not 8 years since I stepped foot in one.
