I understand that Legacy CC has an oyster special every Tuesday. Prepared to order and only $15 or so... I'm going to give it a try...

From one of my fondest childhood memories. Mazzoni's is gone, but the rolled oyster lives | LouisvilleHotBytes.com

I have not found one oyster restaurant in Florida that prepares fried oysters the way they were prepared on the Eastern shore of Maryland. The oysters floated inside an envelope of fried egg and bread crumbs. I believe they called them "Padded Oysters".

Another hard to find fish dinner is mussels. cooked in a wine broth and always served with Italian rolls. Dipping the rolls into the wine broth after eating the mussels was out of this world.

Try Stumpknockers in Inverness. Very good!

Not at all fancy, but some of the best raw or fried oysters you can imagine. O’Shucks Oyster Bar, on the east side of 301 about 1/4 mile south of 44.

It’s a local bar, absolutely nothing fancy. But you can tell by the people waiting for a table that the food is great. Try it out by going to their Friday night fish fryl—a huge piece of fried haddock, French fries and some excellent homemade coleslaw. I used to order a dozen freshly shucked raw oysters as an “appetizer”. Ask what size you’d like. They don’t get New England oysters, mostly Louisiana, Texas and some from the eastern seaboard. I liked the smaller ones from Louisiana.

Your friends will be impressed. But try O’Shucks out yourself to make sure you impress them the way you ‘d like. The oysters and seafood are impressive, but the dive bar atmosphere, while noisy and lots of fun, is not exactly fine dining.

Beach Ski Bar in Leesburg by the Venetian Beach. When the couple that owned Eaton Beach got divorced. They split up. One partner got Eaton Beach and the other got Beach Ski Bar. I don’t recall Eaton Beaches oysters, but the Fried Oysters are as good as they get.

Nothing like shucking some raw Wellfleet oysters and slurping em down with some horseradish and fresh lemon juice. Just make sure it’s a month with an “r” in it.

We like Sammy's, an Italian restaurant on 301. They serve a very good seafood plate with mussels included. Maybe not the style you described but for anyone looking for mussels or Italian eateries that's a good one. Their garlic rolls and soup are awesome too.

Ski Beach in Leesburg has amazing fried oysters. I’m sure their sister company Eatons beach does too, I just have never had them personally at Eatons!

I just saw the owners a month or so back and they are not divorced. They just built another restaurant together.

Randy and Sue are still happily married. They still own both restaurants.

Yes, that place is great! We had lunch there yesterday. Great service even though we did not come in by motorcycle.
