There are so many great places to get seafood and oysters in Gulf Shores. Another restaurant I wanted to try has been around for over 30 years – Original Oyster House.
I was excited to see a giant Gator greeting customers at the door!
Naturally they had several options of oysters on their menu. I ordered their parmesan garlic oysters. They bake their oysters, they are not grilled like other restaurants I have been to. They are covered in garlic, butter, parsley, and cheese.
These oysters were good but they did not have the same smoky flavor that grilled oysters have. These reminded me more of Oyster Rockefeller. An order of their parmesan oysters come out in 8’s not a full dozen. They are a lot larger in size than other oysters so they are much more filling.
Along with my oysters I enjoyed their drink of the day – a Blue Hawaiian. It was truly a vacation drink. Completely appropriate to have at the shore.
I went to the Original Oyster House for the oysters but they have a very large menu of other fresh seafood. I was watching what other customers were ordering and so many of the fish dishes looked good. I will definitely need to come back to try something else.
Enjoy!
