So what do you do when you are craving seafood at 11pm on a wednesday?
You go to Shucks of course! I had been craving some raw oysters all week and finally, enough was enough, I was gonna get me some oysters.
I was a little nervous about a 24/7 seafood joint walking in. I even boldly went ahead and ordered one of my favorite soups, a seafood bisque. Ordering soup at midnight doesn't inspire 'freshness' in my mind.
Well all my fears were put to rest when the food was brought out and I took my first bite. The soup was great with a little bit of spice, just how I like it. I also got the Oyster Trio, which is 2 half shells, 2 Rockefellers, and 2 fried oysters. All of them were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the Rockefellers with a squirt of lemon juice and the raw ones with the cocktail sauce they give you.
From midnight - 6am, they introduce a cheap graveyard menu of $1 oysters and $4.99 calamari among other things. The regualr menu is still available and huge, everything from entrees to pastas to combination buckets to salads to tacos. They also do happy hours and weekly specials ($1 oyster thursday caught my eye).
Their $3.95 any item breakfast and clam bake have got some rave reviews on here, and I'm not surprised.
I will definitely be back here again (no matter the hour of day).
