Where to find the best crab claws, Bushwackers, and mullet (the fish)
About three and a half hours east of New Orleans is a 32-mile stretch of impossibly white sand beaches on the Alabama coast.

Welcome to the land of crab claws, Bushwackers, and mullet — some might argue you haven’t lived until you’ve experienced the annual Flora-Bama mullet toss (only some, though). Still, there’s more to the area than party bars and fried seafood, and this guide is here to help.
