Some of the best seafood around.

.

.A while back my mom was telling me about this seafood place.
There are a lot of them around here and I grew up on seafood.
She went on about how good it was so one day I went with her.

It was so good I got hooked !

This is a picture of the place when you pull up outside.
It’s a cool little place.
Here is what you get at Shuckers a good portion of food and the food is delicious.
The prices are reasonable too. Price range is from $6.99 to $10.99 They are open for lunch and dinner.

The seafood here is cooked just right not over done at all.

I’ll fess up and tell you I wanted to keep this place my little secret but that wouldn’t be fair.
So I decided to spill the beans and tell you about it.

You Better get here before they fill up. I did.

I was lucky and got here before the lunch rush.

I asked Kirby here in the photo some questions And she was kind enough to give me the low down.

I wanted to know a little more of the origin of this place as it didn’t seem to be one of those cookie cutter kind of places where everything was the same. It had it’s own little style. It didn’t have that corporate feel if you know what I mean.
I found out that the owner had a dream one day of having her own restaurant and out of that dream Shcukers was born.
The owner is not the cook but does from time to time go in the kitchen and helps with the food prep.
So she gets her hands in the works and gets involved with what goes to your table.
To me that is a very good sign. She really cares.

She said the place has been here Almost 2 years and they have live music on wed and karaoke on Fri.
Check out their web site here. Floridashuckers.com

They also have daily specials .

So come on in and let Kirby and crew take care of you.
