Cold Seafood Favorites

When the Florida sun is high, nothing satisfies like chilled seafood fresh from the Gulf. A few must-try dishes from our menu:

  • Fresh Shucked Raw Oysters
    Briny, ocean-fresh, and served on the half shell with lemon, cocktail sauce, or a dash of hot sauce. 
  • Old Bay Peel & Eat Gulf Shrimp
    Hot and seasoned just right, these shrimp are perfect for sharing with the table. 
  • Cold Peel & Eat Gulf Shrimp
    Chilled, tender, and refreshing, ideal for pairing with a cold beer on a warm evening. 

“The freshest seafood in the Venice area! The oysters are always spot-on and the shrimp never disappoint.” – ★★★★★ Google Review

Perfect Pairings from the Tiki Bar

Of course, no seafood spread is complete without something refreshing in your glass. Here are a few perfect pairings:

  • Oysters + Modelo or Landshark – Light lagers that bring out the briny flavor.
  • Shrimp + Frozen Margarita – A tangy, citrusy kick to balance the spice of Old Bay.
  • Tropical Punch + Cold Shrimp – Our signature vacation in a glass with muddled fruit, rum, and pineapple.
