A Plethora of Oyster in Gulf Shores!

We recently spent a week along the coast in Gulf Shores, Alabama. As many folks do when vacationing along the coast, the focus is more on seafood than on steaks and burgers.  This time was no different.

We went to a very nice place called Mikee's Seafood, which is located very close to Beach Blvd.  A couple of us were on a big Oyster kick lately so we shared 6 orders of a half dozen oysters each.  Here's the rundown with pics!!
  • Fresh Shucked Oysters
  • Steamed Oysters
  • Bama Oysters - With Bama roasted red pepper sauce and parmesan cheese
  • Mikee’s Own Baked Oysters - Fresh shucked, spiced and topped with scallions, bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese
  • EJ’s Oysters -Prepared with garlic, jalapenos, scallions, then topped with bacon and cheese
  • Parmesan Oysters - Parmesan, seasoning and butter
It was a great way to sample oysters prepared a variety of ways.  Although there are only three pictures shown below, two types of oysters are served on each plate.





Of all six types of oysters, I preferred the four that were "dressed up" so to speak. I didn't dislike the steamed and fresh oysters; they were just my least favorites of the bunch. But then again, those that know me would not be surprised as I tend to think outside the box and always up for an adventurous dining experience.

Anyway, if you make it down to Gulf Shores anytime soon and have a hankering for Oysters, I'd highly recommend Mikee's!
