Taste Buds

📍dock's oyster house - atlantic city, nj

this longstanding seafood spot has an incredible happy hour complete with 1.50 oysters on the half shell, meatballs, deviled eggs with fried oysters on top, calamari, and some crazy oyster version of chicken parm

we got 2.5 dozen oysters and i'd return for more

if you're into drinking: cucumber gin martini was great (i had two and oops that was too many)

there's also a piano man at the bar which is a bonus

the oyster shucker has been working there 17 years and it was the only time all week that i didn't have a shell in a single oyster (had them 3 diff times this week) 🏆

no love for dock's on my post below so i'll take a moment to talk about the oyster crackers

they source them locally and they were so good and different we thought they were homemade

it inspired us to try to make our own homemade ones--we're thinking some plain and some cheddar bay ? are we nuts

also here is a delicious jalapeño spritz with strawberry amaro and some standard calamari 🐙

I’d like to be as happy as that cracker
