April 2, 20187 yr I just dropped two dimes at Cafe Blue in Bee Cave. Oysters were below par. Where is the best place in town to partake of raw oysters? Edited April 2, 20187 yr by Judge Roybeanbag

April 2, 20187 yr It's a hike for us, but I miss me some quality on airport. If you just want to drop coin, clarks.

April 2, 20187 yr Had oysters last night at Deck Hands in Round Rock and they were fantastic. I've never not been satisfied with that place as a whole. There is a south Austin location as well if you are in that part of town. Oh yeah, fuck Kevin Morgan!

April 2, 20187 yr I'll second Deckhands. The South Austin location at South Lamar and Ben White has never disappointed. The staff is friendly and the manager always come by our table and strikes up some conversation, she loves to hunt and fish.
April 2, 20187 yr 15 hours ago, futureman said: aren’t oysters like $4 a pop at perla’s? just drive down to the coast. Yes, but those aren't gulf oysters.
April 2, 20187 yr Salt Traders in Round Rock has a decent raw bar with several varieties of oysters. Not cheap, though.
April 2, 20187 yr Eddie V's has em for $1 each on Sundays and Mondays. Also, trade secret: you can go to the Whole Foods downtown or in the Domain (and maybe others), where there's sit-down eating, and (1) buy a bunch in the shell at the seafood counter, (2) ask the guy there to shuck 'em for you, and (3) sit down and eat em for around 75 cents a pop.
April 3, 20187 yr deckhands is great every time, quality seafood was excellent also. neither will set you back like perlas, clarks, foreign.domestic, etc. gulf oysters are the best value. i could argue they are flat out the best tasting, but for sure the largest so therefore the best value.

April 3, 20187 yr I'll add a vote for Quality Seafood.Doesn't hurt that I know the owner & we did the re-roof as part of the expansion a few years ago.In a pinch, the small "tub o' ersters" from the HEB seafood area is good enough for my heathen tastes.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
April 3, 20187 yr I buy the heb tupperware pint practically every new years eve, and they are good. i believe they're from palacios, or someplace texas. i fry them though. have never eaten raw oysters without their half shell.
April 4, 20187 yr Maybe this should be posted in Road Trip Gems, but GoGo Gumbo in Boyd is fantastic. Order the TV Dinner. You can thank me later.
April 4, 20187 yr I’m partial to this new place in Lamar Union called TLC. They do a good job with seafood boils, sandwiches and raw bar. Family friendly and great value but parking sucks. Another favorite of mine is the seafood bar at Whole Foods HQ. You can order oysters by the each at the seafood counter and they will serve it to you at the table. Helluva lot cheaper than Perlas or Clark’s.
April 4, 20187 yr Asking the counter at WF/CM to shuck em for me is jean-yus. Tried shucking a few dozen years ago and hands looked like I tried to bathe a wolverine. Will second quality seafood, deckhand, and salt trader. Will also embarrass myself by saying I prefer smaller bite size oysters over the cow tongue sized varieties.

You gotta use tea towels.

One of our favorites. It's a must stop every time we are up in Decatur. The owner/chef and his wife are fantastic people. Edited April 9, 20187 yr by Irwin F Fletcher

Once our plates came out 25 minutes apart. No apology from the waiter on that. I love Quality as well. It’s usually what I pick for my birthday dinner with the folks.
April 9, 20205 yr Anyone have any good recs on a seafood delivery service? Not prepared seafood, but things like fresh/fresh frozen fillets, shellfish, etc? Need a fix of high quality seafood.
