Haven’t read all the responses yet but am I the only fatty that butters their bread & puts it under the broiler 1st?

Then add mayo, pickles & sometimes lettuce
Ketchup on the side for dipping

lettuce, tomato, mayo, pickles for sure. Ketchup is optional.

I don't like cocktail sauce on the po boy, but will occasionally dip it in cocktail.

Nah,

I am Sure some people feel that way, but it’s a weird take.

Now like a RB po boy it would just be fricking weird

I like mayo but for some reason don’t like it on fried seafood poboys. Ketchup and hot sauce it is.

You're paying for it, so get it made how you like it. If you like lettuce, tomato, mayo and pickles, then by all means tell them that is how you want it.

I like the above for all my po-boys and will add hot sauce to some, especially seafood po-boys.

There is no "One Way" to have them fixed.

Ketchup on a po-boy = Ketchup on a rib eye. Both equal a very sick puppy!

so, if you are just eating fried shrimp, do you dip them in anything? or just eat them as they are?



I mix up a cocktail sauce of ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, salt, pepper and my homemade habanero hot sauce.

I will dip some of my fried seafood in it, but not all as I'm eating it.

Ketchup on fried shrimp is DISGUSTING. Maybe hot sauce. Ketchup? No.

It should be dressed to the preference of the eater


I agree but the phrase “dressed” should mean something. To me it means lettuce, tomato, mayo. If I ask for my shrimp poboy to come dressed and they put ketchup on it, it is going back.

Lettuce (shredded), Mayo, and tomato. Hot sauce on the table to add as much as you want.

No ketchup. Guy’s shrimp dressed has ketchup, I can’t stand that.

The standard is mayo, lettuce, and tomato.

If I’m eating it, mayo and ketchup ONLY

For me it's remoulade, lettuce, tomato, and pickle (but not too many) on a buttered, lightly toasted roll. The bread is very important.

Friend,

Traditionally, it is mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato. The proper way, however, is cocktail sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.

Yours,
