Dixie Crossroads

About Dixie Crossroads:

Dixie Crossroads Is Famous for Shrimp – Reds, Whites, Pinks, Brownies, “hoppers” And, of Course, Our Trademark Specialty…rock Shrimp, the Sweetest Little Delicacy To Ever Come From the Ocean. One of Florida’s Most Exciting Rites of Spring Involves “dipping” Shrimp During Annual Shrimp Migrations. Armed With Long-Poled Nets, Coolers, Elaborate Lighting Systems and Even Small Generators, Enthusiasts Line Up On Bridges To Wait for Nightfall When Traveling Shrimp Become Visible As They Pass Through Circles of Light Illuminating the Dark Water. Many Shrimpers Arrive in the Early Afternoon and Sit for Hours, Guarding What They Hope Will Be the Most Productive Spot From Which To Scoop the Elusive Crustaceans. Many Species of Shrimp Lead A Dual Life, Spending the First Part of Their Time Inshore and the Remainder in the Open Ocean. Hatched At Sea, Juvenile Shrimp Spend the Early Part of Their Lives As Drifting Oceanic Plankton. Within 2 Weeks After Hatching, Young Shrimp Become Active Swimmers. They Instinctively Move Toward Shore, Navigating Through Inlets and Into Shallow Estuarine Nursery Areas. Florida’s Most Important Nursery Grounds Include the Indian River Lagoon System and the St. Johns River On the East Coast, and Charlotte Harbor, Estero Bay, Tampa Bay and the Vast Inshore Waters Near Appalachicola On the Gulf of Mexico. the Shrimp Increase in Size Very Rapidly, Especially When Water Temperatures Are Warm. As the Shrimp Grow, They Move Gradually Seaward, Presumably in Response To Salinity. Near Spawning Time, Adult Shrimp Move Out of Estuarine Waters in Large Numbers (Called “runs”), Heading for Inlets in Order To Return To the Ocean To Spawn. the Products of These Runs Are World Famous: Key West Pinks, Texas Browns, Georgia Whites, and Cape Canaveral Browns, To Name A Few. At Dixie Crossroads You Can Taste the Same Shrimp That the Midnight Dippers Work So Hard To Catch – and You Don’t Have To Spend A Chilly Night Dangling Over A Bridge Railing To Get Them. Our Fresh Shrimp Comes From A Fleet of Over 25 Full Time Commercial Shrimpers. the Shrimp Are Stored Then Cleaned by Hand At Our Local Processing Plant, Cape Canaveral Shrimp Company. As Various Species Are Seasonal, Dixie Crossroads Serves Different Shrimp Throughout the Year, Depending On What Is Available At the Time. It Is Quite A Challenge To Estimate How Much of A Particular Type of Shrimp Must Be Put Away in Order To Last Until the Next One Comes in Season. in A Typical Year, Dixie Crossroads Will Serve Up To 7 or More Different Kinds of Domestic Shrimp.
