Joe Roberts’ Coconut Shrimp

Back in August, members of Fairhope Elks Lodge 1879 hold an appetizer contest. Elk Joe Roberts wows people with his coconut shrimp. In fact, it’s so good that Joe winds up being head chef for OCT 16 2026 Seafood Night at the Lodge. Joe’s coconut-wrapped shrimp along with special sauce, sweet potato fries, cole slaw and dessert start the evening which is followed by music trivia. Remember the delicious burgers by Joe grilled along the edge of Mobile Bay a few years back? Yep, it’s the same Joe. And he knows how to cook.
