OldSpook Shucker's Oyster Bar
1st, I really dislike restaurants. Why would anyone believe that they could get decent seafood so far inland? Certainly they will only serve frozen, pre-packaged microwave rubbish unfit for human consumption. I was wrong.
2nd, I stand corrected. Shuckers Oyster Bar (SOB?) actually serves seafood that is very well prepared. I grew up in the Chesapeake Bay region and have devoured countless oysters. Shuckers oysters are of the quality we used to get many years ago. These are hand breaded and quickly deep fried, steamed or on the half shell. All very good. The shrimp are also hand floured (not breaded) so you can actually taste the shrimp and not the bread! On Saturday nights they offer live local entertainers on their outside deck. Great place to sit back and relax. If you go, please tell Elizabeth that Dave says "Hi" it will confuse the heck out of her. Cheers/Dave

I have also enjoyed oysters from the Cheasapeake Bay when I lived in Baltimore and worked for McCormick and company. And the last time I was at Shuckers the raw oyesters were delicious. Haven't been there, however, since the oil spill in the gulf. Many local restaurants could not get good oysters after that. I will try Shucker's again soon. William Wendt
