While in Tampa, FL try the Apalachicola Bay warm-water Oysters
(if you can find them), very different than any I’ve tried up to now.

I grew up outside Albuquerque and I love seafood especially Oysters.  I had heard Nantucket Shoals Seafood Market carried oysters but found out last year it was going to close.  After a visit several months ago a new owner came forward to continue seafood market.  Since then it has become my place to stop when I wanted a oyster to shuck myself.  I have enjoyed a variety of different oysters up to now and hope to try many more in the future.  Here is a sampling of what I tried:
