Orlando Oysters

Any recommendations other than Lee and Ricks for Oysters on the half shell?

    The Oceanaire Seafood Room at Pointe Orlando has a good cold seafood bar that includes oysters. Cityfish in Thornton Park features east and west coast 'sters, too.

      I agree with the Thirsty Gator. Its a hole in the wall, but I guess that's part of the charm. Great Rock Shrimp as well.

      The Ale House has decent oysters as well that are resonably priced.

        I think the Thirsty Gator in Winter Park has the best oysters I have tasted in Orlando. They are constantly shucking so they are fresh and its normally 50 cents an oyster so by far the cheapest I have found. I believe their website is www.thirstygator.com if you need to find them.

          I used to really enjoy the ones at Mccormick and Schmidt.-I can't even recall if that restaurant is still there. It's a bit pricey, but delicious oysters...

            had the best oysters rockefeller at the frosty mug her in Mt dora. They aren't usually on the menu so gettem while they last. I think it's the sauce served with them that totally rocks!

            Lombardi's Seafood Market has great apalachicola oysters. I know it is not a restaurant, but if you are willing to do the dirty work your self they are great and cheap!
