AJ'S Seafood and Oyster Bar has been serving up fresh, cold gulf cost oysters and cool libations since 1984. Dining at AJ's Seafood is a true experience to all the senses. One of the most popular events at AJ’s is watching the charter boats roll in with their daily catch. You can even cook your catch at AJ’s! If you catch it on one of our boats or any of the charter boats on the Harbor-we will be glad to serve it up your way with coleslaw and hushpuppies.
