Do yourself a favor and go to Dorignac's on Vets and buy their St. Joseph's Bread. That stuff is killer and makes a great po-boy. It is a very uniform French style loaf with the entire outside sprinkled with sesame seeds.
I find a lot of store baked French bread loaves are not up to par with what I expect them to be.

I’m live in rural north la so no good French bakeries or bakeries in general. Anybody wanna answer the original question? The food and drink board has never let me down before but we lacking today , I just need a simple question answered by people whose opinions I respect.

I found this today at a Georgia Walmart. I thought it was weird to have sesame seeds on French Bread but they didn't have any "plain". So I got one. I'll review tomorrow.

Yes I dig some of the bread out. Saw Bobby Flay do it about a decade ago and I like to do it because I don’t like a lot of bread and the shrimp fit in better without falling out.

No, I do not dig out the bread. The only time I've seen it done was when there was a popular seafood restaurant on Hayne Blvd. in N.O. East that was famous for their oyster and shrimp boats.
They take a loaf of rectangular bread, dig out the center to form a crude box with what remained of the crust and then fill it with the seafood.

Those WalMart French Breads actually aren't to bad. I would dig a little out and toast it the oven at 425 for 3-4 to give the outside a little crust.

I couldn't help myself. For a midnight snack I cut off the butt end and made a simple turkey sandwich with deli meat, cheddar, mayo, and black pepper. The bread is good, but needs to be warmed to be less chewy. If I were stuffing it poboy style, I'd probably scrape it a little, but not much.

Not necessarily for a shrimp poboy, but I’ll definitely do this to load up my poboy/sandwich with protein and fixings that might otherwise have a hard time fitting.

If the bread is thick, I will take some out of the inside. I like to crisp it up in the oven, sometimes buttering and browning the inside a bit.

Definitely scoop some out. You don’t want to take too much of the bread out, just enough to make a channel to hold the shrimp.

No way with real French bread. Maybe a northern hoagie shop would do that but not in my kitchen.

Gee & Lil's on Hayne is the one I was thinking of and just remembered the name. It is long gone now, but if not mistaken, they baked their own loaves of bread to make the meal.

Most poboys I’d agree on not taking some bread out, but something chunkier like shrimp or oysters I pull a bit out to make room.
Whatever bread I pull out isn’t wasted, I just dip it in seasoned olive oil and eat it while I’m cooking.

Lakeview Seafood, New Orleans East: 7400 Hayne Blvd.
Famous for their seafood "boats". Whole loaf of white bread, brushed insides with butter, filled with fish, shrimp, oysters.
Drove out there from Metairie from time to time, if money permitted.
