THE LOCAL PEARL OYSTER SHOPPE

One of my wife's friends invited us to NSB for the farmer's market and lunch. She did not have a particular place in mind, we just knew for lunch. Walking down the drag we saw their sign and said "sure let's try it " So glad we did. The hostess sat us early and the gentleman behind the bar shucking the oysters really knew his stuff. We were told where the different routers came from, their salinity, their texture etc. He really nailed each one. After a dozen each an appetizer and a couple of beers it was time to go. We have already made plans to enjoy some oysters again in the very near future.

It was a wonderful experience. We sat outside, the weather was perfect. My cousins had the Fish of the Day, Cobia, and I had the fish taco (I eat lite). My cousins were very pleased as was I. We shared the dessert which was a varied chocolate bread pudding. The whole evening was just perfect..

Outstanding oysters and oyster selection as well as select beer and wine! Other great fresh seafood items! Excellent service to go with the quaint homey atmosphere

Went in on a Saturday evening and although it was pretty busy, we were able to be seated quickly. Service was attentive, but not intrusive. Good wine/beer options. Ordered the lobster hush puppies for an appetizer. They were delicious, especially with the accompanying honey butter. Tuna "burger" was my entree and it was also quite tasty. We just missed happy hour, so we plan to go back and try the oysters.

This is a great place to eat oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp, even the cheese board was phenomenal. They try to use local ingredients wherever possible. We tried a variety of dishes and they were all fantastic. Great service too. It is a small venue with BIG heart. Will be back.
