Oyster House Restaurant

Oyster House Restaurant Review

One of the town's oldest and most old-fashioned fish houses, Oyster serves all the local staples—shrimp, gator tail, frogs' legs, oysters, stone crab, and grouper—in a lodgelike setting where mounted wild game decorates walls and rafters. Shrimp and grouper smothered in tomatoes are among the few exceptions to fried preparation. Deep-frying remains an art in these parts, so if you're going to indulge, do it here. Consider the stone crab soup, in season, and try to dine at sunset for golden rays with your watery view. Outside, a 75-foot observation tower affords a terrific view of the Ten Thousand Islands.
