Al has been a fixture here for 20 years. Most of that time he was running a bait shop and serving tacos on the side just to fishermen. Now, his restaurant is what keeps him busy. The main attractions are the fried shrimp baskets, the stuffed crabs, the blackened fish, and the fried oyster baskets. Al fries up the best shrimp on the island here. And his prices are rock bottom. The restaurant/bait shop is beside the marina (which is south of the bridge). Picnic tables are scattered out in front for people to sit down while they wait for their name to be called (this place is crowded for dinner). Al has opened a second-story dining room. It helps with the wait for a table, but not the crowded parking lot. Dirty Al's might be moving locations in the next year, so ask around.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
