            I was under the impression the restaurant was long gone (a victim of innumerable hurricanes). I'll look around when I head over there today.

                Do any of you go out and pick up your own oysters? I've been doing that since the mid 70's. Not much around Jones Lake/West Bay area - the spoil islands were great before the out-of-state boys obliterated Confederate Reef and the oyster drills killed off the spoil reefs. Bastrop Bay and East Bay I still hit both of them and you can be selective in what you keep as long as they are 3" in size and you don't take more than 2 sacks.
                No more than two sacks of legal oysters may be possessed per person. A sack is defined as 110 pounds of oysters including the sack.

                  There isn't a restaurant any longer. You can still get the gumbo and slaw in the seafood market though.

                    Picked up a half gallon of East Bay oysters, some jumbo shrimp for the grill, and a couple pints of shrimp coleslaw. Yum!!

                        The wife and I do this quite a bit. I look for the low tide when the front blows it out (like right now) and hit it up with a few milk crates, a hammer and chisel and get a bunch. Eat a lot fresh and freeze the rest. Enjoy them baked, in soup/gumbo, and fried year-round. There are plenty of good reefs in upper W. Bay. I just walk in but if you wanted to take a boat you would have even more options.

                          That sounds fun and have thought about it but i have been afraid of getting hepatitis or the malay waste away or creeping crude , or something . I once saw a guy banging away at exposed oysters in bastrop and talked to a guy who was gathering oysters along the banks of the diversionary canal . He said he had been doing it for years .

                            Milkjug , i never heard of freezing oysters . How are they after thawing ? Probably not so good to eat raw but ok for cooking ? The consistancy the same ?

                                If your going to go harvest oysters you need to check out both of these links for legal and health issues.
                                The Maps will also contain (More specific rules). They are updated frequently.
                                Hope this helps.
