Hole-in-the-Wall SeafoodĪs the name suggests, this place is literally a hole-in-the-wall.
#Apalachicola oyster spat full
It’s not a fancy, upscale place, but it’s full of heart and soul. The Station is a great place to hang out and enjoy some great food, maybe a few beers.
The meal comes with your choice of 2 side dishes and costs under $10! The only stipulation is that you have to clean the fish upon arrival. You can literally bring in whatever you’ve caught that day, and they’ll fry it for you. What’s super cool about The Station’s fried menu is that it includes a ‘cook your catch’ option. Or you can have fried oysters and grits which sounds amazing. These are served in a basket with fries and a side. If you prefer your bivalves baked, you can have them baked five different ways including Rockefeller, with Parmesan and garlic butter, Cap ‘n’ Jack style (with bacon, jalapeños, cheese, and hot sauce), or The Station style (with crab meat, cheese, bacon, and a dash of cherry.) Wild caught oysters go for $15 a dozen, which is a great price. Farm raised oysters go for market value when available. You can get them ‘raw and salty’ on the half shell. The oyster section is pretty comprehensive. It’s your typical fish shop fare that sees you licking your fingers and looking for more. The menu contains a lot of hearty seafood meals and fried food. If you visit at night, string lights and neon signs make it feel like a tailgate party. The Station also has outdoor seating covered by gazebos to protect you from those Florida showers. It looks like a typical service station in the 50s or 60s. The interior seating area is covered in Americana relics and decorations. Gas station oysters sound like a recipe for disaster, but not if you’re eating at The Station Oyster Bar.īuilt in a converted gas station, The Station has a quirky and laid-back vibe. They’ve had a hard time over the last year, and they deserve some support. If you do find yourself in Apalachicola, perhaps for the annual seafood festival, make sure to try some of these restaurants and oyster bars out. They are still beautifully fresh and incredibly tasty.
Nowadays, they get they’re oysters shipped fresh from Texas and the East and West coasts. While you might not be able to sample Apalachicola oysters anymore, you can still visit the many seafood restaurants and oyster bars in the city. This increases the overall salinity levels of the bay, which affects the oyster growth. As they use more water, Apalachicola Bay sees less fresh water. This river is used as a water source in Georgia. Part of the issue was reduced freshwater flow from the Apalachicola River. Oysters aren’t just tasty snacks, you see, they filter the water and support larger ecosystems. The shut-down came as a result of dwindling oyster numbers and damage to the Apalachicola Bay due to the reduced numbers.
