Route 17 is not just an iconic historical highway that runs the
length of the eastern seaboard. It also passes through some of the
most prime shrimping zones in the United States. Viewing this
historical route through a contemporary lens, this study is an
impressionistic profile of a vintage southern highway and the
culture that surrounds it. Although the highway runs from Punta
Gorda, on the Gulf Coast of Florida, to Winchester, Virginia, in
the Shenandoah Mountains, this trip focuses on the section that
skirts the Eastern Seaboard-known as The Coastal Highway, The Ocean
Highway, or just "17"-offering an anecdotal look at the colorful
people and often quirky places that make up the essence of
Lowcountry living. This is not an academic study, although it does
provide historical context to the areas involved, and it is not a
technical book about the shrimp industry or the history of the
highway. Both a travelogue and a foodie journal, the story told
here provides a casual look into the culinary history of shrimp and
an overview of the people who harvest, sell and consume them. In
addition to visiting eateries along the route, both established and
obscure, and visiting often remote ports-of-call cluttered with
trawlers, Johnson also explores an archetype he identifies as a
"17-er," a person who spends a lifetime on or near the highway, for
whom the road defines and reflects a special type of character
particular to living off 17.
