What y’all got for happy hour oysters? Most places I’ve seen I can find cheaper back home.

Ah, so you don’t have anything. Thanks.

I gave you my answer! If you want the truth why are you looking for oysters in the summer anyway, wrong time of the year to eat them, eat shrimp!

Is the Boathouse open? I can't remember how their prices are though

Sam's! Ahhhh, but they're closed now. I went to look because I heard his son re-opened under the name "Stewby's". Apparently they don't serve raw ones.
Back in the 80's, Sam's was THE oyster house in that area.

I haven't looked recently OP but I'm local to the Destin area and there have never been great oyster deals around here. We don't have oyster farming in the bay here, all the oysters are from elsewhere. Appalachicola used to be the main location and their numbers are way down due to way over harvesting.

Back when it still semi-resembled a “sleepy little fishing village”

I know they have had over-harvesting issues, but I'm curious if you know how hurricane Michael affected the Appalachicola beds. I would think it really messed them up and killed a lot of oysters going into prime season?

Appalachicola hasn’t had a wild harvest in the last 4 years. Those wild oysters we used to love and eat are all gone. Lots of factors to it, over fishing, water wars with Georgians Alabama, and the BP spill. Oysters coming out of that are man are farm raised now.

Bad time of year for oysters.
Might be just an old saying but my pops always said they're not good in any month without an R in it. That no doubt was probably true before refrigeration on the boats and at the fish markets. That said I've eaten them in the summer and find them to be "milky" if that makes sense. But, I didn't get sick and they tasted ok.

Wild gulf oysters spawn in the Summer months. They use up the glycogen and fatty cells to spawn. Hence the milky, chalky, flacid muscle. Still safe to eat due to Refridgeration. Most farm raised oysters on the east Coast and now moving to the Gulf Coast do not reproduce.
