There are so many great restaurants in Mississippi that are hidden away in rural areas of the state, making them nearly impossible to find. Then, there are others that are hard to find because, well, they’re not actually restaurants. Some of the best food in the state comes from non-traditional eateries, such as gas stations, roadside vendors, and groceries – and that’s exactly the case with Bozo’s Seafood Market. Located in Pascagoula, Bozo’s includes a lunch counter that has gained a reputation for serving some of the best po’ boys in the entire state. Take a look:

Open since 1956, Bozo's Seafood Market is located in Pascagoula, not far from the waterfront.
