The Oyster Trail
In Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
Day 1
Lunch: Oyster Trio
Lunch: Oyster Trio
Begin your oyster journey at The Steamer and Baked Oyster Bar. This casual seafood joint offers seven different kinds of oysters - all amazing. Since choosing which ones to order is so hard, we suggest opting for their Mix Em' Up plate. You can select three different varieties in either a half-dozen or dozen order. Choose from raw, steamed, baked parmesan, baked alfredo, baked Mexican, baked Rockefeller, and baked Cajun crawfish oysters, each one more delicious than the last!
Dinner: Oyster Rockefeller Soup
Dinner: Oyster Rockefeller Soup
We are sure you have heard of Oysters Rockefeller, but have you ever heard of Oyster Rockefeller soup? Wrap up the first day of your oyster crawl at Acme Oyster House and try the Oyster Rockefeller Soup. This flavorful delight has oysters, spinach, Parmesan cheese and a hint of Herbsaint liqueur. Be sure to finish the evening with an oyster shooter — one freshly shucked oyster with cocktail sauce and vodka served in a shot glass.
Day 2
Lunch: Creole Oysters
Lunch: Creole Oysters
Enjoy some of the best waterfront views around at Cobalt while sampling the oysters. Cobalt serves Rockefeller, raw, and garlic parmesan oysters, but our favorite is the creole casino. Bursting with flavor, these cooked oysters are topped with tasso, jalapeño, red bell pepper, shallots, cream cheese, and smoked Gouda.
Dinner: Fried Oysters
Dinner: Fried Oysters
While Doc's Seafood Shack may be know for having the "best shrimp in the civilized world," this spot also serve fantastic oysters. Fried to perfection, the golden fried oysters plate is served with fries or new potatoes, coleslaw, and hushpuppies and is guaranteed to satisfy your hunger. If you want the best of both worlds, go for the create-your-own platter and choose fried oysters and shrimp. This dish comes with the same sides as the golden fried oysters.
Day 3
Lunch: Oyster Po'boy

Shipp's Dockside Grill Lower Deck is the perfect lunch spot for day three of your oyster trail. This waterfront restaurant boasts an impressive menu filled with delicious seafood. For a classic Southern favorite, try the oyster po’boy. The golden fried oysters are served with lettuce, tomato, cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, and fries.
