That was actually born back in the days when refrigeration was a luxury and not the norm. There's always a risk, but they (oysters) taste just as good to me in July as they do in November!
it is a seafood market on north side of Hwy 98, west of 393.
I like Nick's. Tell us about Dee's.
All great! Hope that when you say "Nick's" that you aren't referring to shrimp. Their's aren't local but tasty nonetheless!
Dee's Hangout is on the north side of Frontage Beach Rd. in Panama City Beach across the street from one of the big high rises containing a place called Pineapple Willy's in a small strip shopping center between Pompano's and another restaurant called The Curry Pot.
For starters, we had the alligator appetizer, deep fried, of course. It was interesting, glad we sampled it. I took the opportunity to try my first po' boy sandwich, the oyster model. The menu claims their bread comes from the New Orleans bakers that invented the sandwich, and I believe it. Besides the oysters, it was the best part of the sandwich. Pretty much decided that would be my last po' boy, as I didn't care much for the rest of the ingredients. But if you like them, they probably don't get much better than here.
The rest of the meal was really good. My wife had the grouper sandwich, my daughter had the grouper bites basket and my son got the popcorn shrimp. All were very good. My daughter ate all the homemade cole slaw that came with her grouper, even though she "hates" slaw. I had cajun fried potatoes, which were also very good.
It's a small place, with a bit of a throwback atmosphere, with plain tables and chairs and old photos of what appeared to be several previous incarnations of the business.
Four big thumbs up.
For those with adventurous appetites, The Curry Pot serves some good Indian-style groceries! Not expensive, not pretentious, but authentic home-made food cooked by an Indian husband and wife team. Try it, you'll like it!
I LOVE places like this!!! You do good reporting!

Updated report...bayou omelette at The Donut Hole, with fresh crab meat is AWESOME! A.J.'s in Destin...too touristy. Shrimp O.K., a little too soggy for my taste.
The Red Bar...best overall meal while there. Spent our last Friday night meal there, crabcakes and a blackened grouper special with a bacon and cheese gritcake under the fish was worth the parking hassle. So was the bread pudding with bourbon sauce.
Nick's was my favorite. My daughter's was Dee's Hangout in PCB.

We went to Dee's Hangout on Saturday and the food was great. I had the gumbo and my friend had a roast beef poor boy. Both were really good. Thought we were in NOLA! Didn't have any oysters, but they looked wonderful. Everyone eating them seemed to be very happy. But my favorite oysters and Oyster Bar is in Millville (right next to PC) not PC and not Hunt's, although Hunt's are good they are just not the best. I have been sworn to secrecey not to to unveil the name, so just google oyster bar in Millville! It's less than 30 minutes from SOWAL and the prices are right.
