After a red wine we ordered the oysters with just lemon and salt. Pretty tasty, nothing amazing but I've never been a big fan of oysters anyway. For the main, i ordered the seafood chowder, which was apparently the "customer favourite", and my partner ordered the seafood platter for two. Service was good but we did wait a little while for our mains, however I would put this down to how early we were. Chowder was great, nice chunky seafood and a tasty sauce. Bread wasn't anything amazing but still nice, . the platter however was huge! Fruit, salad and seafood all served up in a decadent looking dish. Overall I give 4/5 stars for the experience, but this place certainly isn't cheap.. There are some cheaper items on the menu however. Would definitely return.

Salmon was juicy & flavorful. Cannot say enough about the quality of the seafood & large portions they provided! The potatoes were prepared very similar to scalloped potatoes & broccolini was crisp & not over cooked. They had outside & inside seating to choose from. A very delicious Monteiths Pale Ale from New Zealand on Draft to boot! Cheers Mate Give them a try!

I am happy to recommend this place for a good dining experience. Reef & beef mostly, but really done well and good service with reasonable pricing. Check it out when in Byron.. particularly if you can't get in elsewhere for dinner. It's right next to the Woolies!

Great seafood in an enchanting environment…read more After dining in 'downtown' Surfers Paradise for a few days I thought I would give Tedder Ave a try as I had heard good things. A walk up and down the strip reading menus and surveying the scene landed me at Shuck Restaurant and Bar. I started with a half of a dozen oysters. I wanted to try both the Sydney Rock and Natural Pacific and they were kind enough to serve me three of each. The Pacifics were oyster perfection - briny and meaty and tasting fresh from the sea. The Sydneys were not to my taste - somewhat flavorless and a bit sweet if anything. To each their own....YMMV. I followed them with the Moreton Bay Bug Tempura served in an onion salad with nori and a wasabi sauce. The bugs were fried lusciousness and the salad a tasty crunchy accompaniment. In a perfect world there would have been less sauce (and perhaps more wasabi in the sauce)...but that isn't really a complaint so much as a note for next time. I chose an Ara Chardonnay to accompany my meal. In a perfect world a Chenin Blanc would be offered...but I've since learned that neither Australia nor New Zealand grows a lot of the grape. The atmosphere is fun and open - I had an exterior table and watched the world walk by. The service was wonderful.

And, finally, the Affogato was a perfect finish. It's not ridiculously expensive - actually for price-performance, you can't go wrong. Go to Shucks and enjoy a fantastic meal!

We had a dozen oysters, including delicious Tazmanian oysters. And then continued on with a beautiful piece of swordfish from Mooloolaba. It was slow grilled, and then served with a little veal au jus and topped with a small creamy piece of Foie Gras. We also had the jumbo prawns which were bold, bright and tasty. With each entree - they also bring you a selection of sides a part of the meal. Our included a bowl of bright vegetables with snow peas, a bowl of oven baked potatos, fresh cos salad. For a treat, be sure to try their house made tartar sauce on your potatos (but don't on the fish. It needs no such thing). The staff there was friendly and helpful. They paired beautiful local wines with each course. And were generous with the time and energy. This is a place I would return to any time in the area!
