I was so excited to see a tamale place open up in Clinton! Â Suck the Shuck Tamales operates in the Shell station on Clinton Boulevard right across the street from N'awlins Grill. Â An older couple operates the establishment, and while it is new to Clinton, they have been shucking and selling tamales for a long time. Â The lady that helped me was super sweet.
The tamales are Mississippi Delta style (which I am never quite sure what that means), and they are very flavorful. Â The only drawback that I found was that the filling was slightly gritty in texture. Â That was a little off-putting, but I am willing to give them a couple of more tries before I make a final judgement.
