Fresh Off the Boat

Hunting & Gathering

Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar, 5353 S Tamiami Trail, 941-925-4444.

What do you get the seafood lover who has everything? Try ordering one of the new baked oyster and hush puppy or chilled seafood combo platters at Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar. You know how when you order enough sushi at certain cool sushi bars, you get a wooden boat filled with sushi? Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar adopted the same delivery system, only your small wooden ship is filled with five different kinds of baked oysters and fried hush puppies, or it can be laden with fresh oysters, crab claws, shrimp and ceviche. I crave the oysters with the sweet and smoky bacon mignonette, and the ceviche served in an oyster shell is perfectly tangy and creamy.
