Fodor's Expert Review Big D's Conch Spot

For the freshest—and according to locals, best—conch salad and the coldest beer, look for the splatter-painted seaside shack a stone's throw from Grand Isle Resort. Big D catches the conch right outside the restaurant, and the salads are often prepared in front of customers. Other seafood favorites include grilled snapper, cracked conch, and coconut shrimp. You also can't get a better water view than here, and the beach is great; bring a swimsuit.
