Much closer.  It is after the Santa Rosa Post Office but before the intersection of 30A and 98.  It is on the right as you are headed West.  You might check Goatfeather's as well.

I called several places for oysters and Shrimpers was the best price and has more oysters per box. They were very good.

Sorry, you can't wait until Gene gets his in.  He has some of the best and you know they are really fresh. We drive from SOWAL to get his oysters.  Next time if you call him earlier he will save them for you.  Good luck.

Goatfeathers sells by the box and they are very fresh.!

Thank you everyone! I got some from Shrimpers today,small but very salty and delish! I also caught a 15lb.Mahi today to complement the meal. Mahi ceviche and grilled mahi with pineapple and guava glaze Sunday.

We've done both and prefer Shrimpers.  As does our Canadian shucker.
