Fodor's Expert Review Shuck Station

Shuck Station may be in a repurposed gas station, with umbrella-topped tables set on gravel beside a busy road, but its exquisite oysters elevate the dining experience here. Pull up a stool at the raw bar, and mix and match a dozen on the half-shell from various Maine oyster farms to compare the sweetness and brine. Or choose oysters Rockefeller or baked oysters with maple barbecue sauce. The menu also has fried shellfish baskets and other fishy dishes, as well as salads, fried chicken, and burgers. A well-chosen wine list focuses on what pairs well with oysters, and there are several Maine craft beers on draft. There's live music on Thursday and Sunday.
