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
