  • In search of something different on the Kerr strip, we found The Mermaid and The Oyster. This place will make you wonder why all seafood restaurants aren't still sporting mermaid wall murals and fishnet drapery, but it's the food that'll really knock you out. One bite of their lobster rolls and you'll be hooked! ATMOSPHERE: This is a specialty seafood store/seafood restaurant hybrid. Meaning after you sample their delish menu, you can also grab some fresh salmon for the road. The space is decked out in sea-themed kitsch which makes your dining experience more theatrical and fun than tacky. This in itself makes the spot a must-visit. For seating, they've got pretty basic outdoor furniture, and there's only so many seats so coming in with larger groups may be difficult. 2-4 people seems to be the magic number. SERVICE: As we walked into the shop and asked for a menu, we were greeted with smiles and Hello's! from the staff behind the counter. Our table service was perfectly adequate as well, with our waitress offering her menu favourites and remaining attentive throughout the meal. C-FOOD: No human being should have to relive Goldilocks' horror each time they bite into a seemingly normal lobster roll. Yet all too often we're confronted with lobster roll predicaments. We're either robbed of precious lobster meat, or the butter factor is supercharged or the filling is too mayo-y, too dill-y, too onion-y, etc. Not this lobster roll. While it may be on the smaller side, this sandwich is packed with lobster meat, and the seasoning and filling is incredibly fresh. In fact, I saw the chef whipping it up behind the counter to-order. The bun is buttery enough that you taste it, but not over-the-top, and the overall flavours are very balanced. In other words, this place has got their lobster rolls ON LOCK. Aside from that, we had "Buck-a-Shuck" oysters that we're deeeeeeeelicious, and my coleslaw side was just the right amount of creamy. OVERALL: If you're an Oakvillian, you should be grabbing your keys and running out the door this very instant. This is an awesome local spot in a town that lacks classic seafood restaurants with big taste. For anyone passing by Oakville, it's worth the stop off the highway! Don't let this place be the one that got away!
