Had some really amazing oysters for Christmas, but didn't feel like driving 45 minutes to…read moreWilmington for them. Who would have guessed an oyster shack would be placed conveniently near my mother's house? ... Okay, anyone would have considering we live right on the coast. I'm slow, okay? Looked up Grant's on Yelp and headed straight there. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a very enthusiastic dog... and then another dog! And then an adorable sleeping cat! Apparently there was another cat lurking about, but I never met them. The gentleman working there welcomed me and invited me inside. I asked how buying oysters goes because I had never purchased them fresh before. He directed me to the gentleman running the place who told me the current price for a bushel was $70, half for $40. I gave the woman at the desk my credit card while I chatted them up. They've been in busy since 1939, selling crabs, oysters, grouper, snapper, you name it. People tend to wipe them out daily, so it's best to show up as early as possible. I thanked everyone (including the animals) and drove home with my half-bushel in hand. Thank goodness I had a random cardboard box in my car or else I would have gotten ocean water all in the trunk. And, of course, the oysters were sublime. Salty with a smooth ocean aftertaste. Great raw and steamed, but even better with cocktail sauce and lemon juice on top. Yes, I ate half a bushel by myself in three days. It took a day to clean them all! Don't judge me. Cheers to a year of more oysters!

While it might look well loved from the outside, the fish is fresh, the walk-in cooler billows frosty air when opened, and the owners are nice. Establish on 1939.

This is the second time I've had an issue. The first time I bought fish there, it was so unfresh I…read morehad to throw it out immediately. Today I bought two fillets of codfish, and when I cooked them, they foamed up on the pan and had a strange smell. In my opinion, they must be using some kind of chemicals that cause the fish to foam like that. It's really disappointing that the fish is not fresh at all. My advice to others: stay away from that place.

He says pricing fluctuates. I get that. Now erase the chalk and write the new price. All I got was a strong glare, as if I were the problem. You are advertising a price and charging a higher price and I am wrong? Why should that become my problem? This has happened before and I let it go but I am sure the weights and measures people would not. Great place for fresh seafood but not impressed the mano y mano stare down just because I brought up the obvious.
