Oyster worshipers come to this famously tiled shrine to pay their respects. One hallmark here is a freezer mounted right on the tile bar from which shuckers rake out oysters, ensuring they’ll be perfectly cold when they reach your mouth. The fried oyster loaf is one of a kind, using Casamento’s distinctive “pan bread.” Softshell crabs and crab claws are other specialties. Avoid the pasta dishes.
