Biloxi Shrimping Trip

Biloxi may appear to be all about gaming these days, but what it’s really about is fishing- Lots and lots of commercial fishing. Biloxi’s Maritime and Seafood Museum, located along Beach Boulevard, was, like so many things, destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. Today, it operates a temporary facility and gift shop in the Edgewater Mall, here in town. Want to get out on the water and actually see how shrimping is done? The captain and crew of the Sailfish run 70 minute tours that take you through the process. You’ll also get plenty of local history and lore, along with a chance to get out on the water, all for a reasonable $15 for adults and $10 for kids. The tour leaves from the foot of Main Street in Biloxi, near the Beau Rivage. Call ahead for times.
