Shell Oyster Bar Seafood Restaurant ·$$

Shell Oyster Bar has been a Tallahassee tradition since the year 1945. This half-a-century old seafood joint has got a relaxed, old-school vibe to it and welcomes coastal food lovers to devour their hearty seafood platters, oyster sandwiches and the delicious scallops. The local family who runs Shell sources all the catch from the Apalachicola Bay and cooks up succulent dishes like the legendary fish and fries, crab claws and fried shrimp, along with other innovative preparations. Do sample their heavenly oyster burger or the equally toothsome hush puppies.

This place is cash only - they make sure you understand with at least four signs along the way. Not a big deal for me, but may be for some. I get they have been in business for a while, kudos to...
