This is Shadow reporting from Siesta Key in Sarasota. Ranked America's No. 1 Beach for 2011 by Dr. Beach, you will find powdery white sand and crystal clear water. Just a small trek from the beach is Siesta Key Village. Lively little place with lots of goods eats. Today we are visiting one of our favorite places. Siesta Key Oyster Bar. Best time to come is for their Oyster Happy Hour for which they have every day from 3 pm - 6 pm. Raw oysters sold by the dozen are Half Price! Louisiana Crawfish is also served at a huge discount. Oysters are terrific here, very fresh. Crawfish is also very good and is served like a gumbo with potatoes, Andouille sausage, corn or the cob, celery and Cajun seasoning. There are about 11-12 crawfish per order varying from medium to small. Just alternating between oysters and crawfish during happy hour will fill you up at a steal. Clam chowder is very rich, with great traditional flavor, but broth is a little thin. Service is friendly and very efficient. Decor is great. Very lively. The walls and ceiling are lined with dollar bills with personal notes from their patrons including us. If you are visiting this place. See if you can find ours. Happy eating.
