FULL STORY: Popular Coast seafood restaurant forced to close indefinitely by weekend weather
Here are key takeaways:
- Earlier this month, more than a foot of rain fell in parts of Hancock County, and water got through the roof membrane, into the lights and flooded parts of the restaurant.
- Field’s Crab Shack opened last fall on Court Street, serving shrimp and other fresh seafood with rooftop views of the bay.
- Nicaud Restaurant Group had planned to keep the Crab Shack open through the summer before he and his brother, Field Nicaud, considered switching to a new concept.
- Staff members are moving to other Nicaud family restaurants, including Field’s Steak & Oyster House in Bay St. Louis, Field’s Italian in Pass Christian and Ocean Springs, Bacchus on the Beach in Pass Christian and Bacchus on the Bayou in Ocean Springs.
- “If you have some favorite staff members you’ll miss, check out our other locations to see them in action there,” Nicaud said.
