I ate my first fresh oysters at a bar in Clearwater, in 1972 at 10 cents each.
After about 4 dozen, I got a little queasy.
They were bringing the boats right to the dock at the back of the restaurant, but it's been years and I can't remember the name of the joint.
It was not fancy, but all of the seafood was terrific.
From the early 70s I remember shanty Oyster Bars along HWY 98 leading to Apalach. They served fresh oysters, saltine crackers, hot sauce and Budweiser beer. The cost was minimal.
