The Shrimp Dock offers the freshest seafood in Knoxville, flown and trucked in daily from the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts. The Dock is always stocked with two types of salmon, sushi grade tuna and fresh gulf shrimp to take home out of the market. Or, stop in for lunch where the kitchen will grill, fry, or blacken your favorite seafood dish.
History
Established in 2012.
Captain Paul Willis started the Shrimp Dock in Knoxville back in 1993. He had grown up shrimping in the bayous of Louisiana and subsequently developed a seafood business. A chance trip to the Smokies sold him on a new home base to sell fresh New Orleans shrimp on Alcoa Highway. The back of a truck on the weekends evolved to a storefront and eventually to the location in Bearden. One thing led to another and the Shrimp Dock concept spread to Farragut by Phil Dangel in the spring of 2008. In August 2009, the Dangel family bought the original Bearden store from Captain Paul. The Shrimp Dock returned to the Alcoa/Maryville in 2012 market with its newest store located near downtown Maryville. Captain Paul is now back doing what he loves best, running his shrimp and fishing boats out of Louisiana and spending weekend time at his mountain home in East TN. And the Shrimp Dock is still getting the freshest fish and shellfish straight from Captain Paul and several other great suppliers daily!
