Shuck It!

Orange County’s newest destination for fantastic fresh oysters is Shuck Oyster Bar, a new concept from Noah Blom and Leonard Chan, two foodies helping to make South Coast Collection, a culinary destination in Costa Mesa. (Chan also owns Iron Press at SoCo, for local crafted brews and gourmet waffle sandwiches, and California Shabu Shabu in Costa Mesa; and Blom will be opening ARC at SoCo soon, a classic American cocktail bar with a wood-fired kitchen.)

Shuck Oyster Bar is a place to celebrate shellfish at its finest; Blom and Chan take pride in offering 48 varieties of the highest quality of seasonal oysters, as well as hard to find oysters. The rest of the menu is streamlined to make oysters the main event: choices include an Oyster po-boy, tasty chowders, a delicious grilled cheese sandwich, a Tijuana Caesar and smoked green salad. At the bar, ask away about the oysters’ origins, the staff will share their knowledge and look for shucking classes starting soon. All menu items go dangerously well with its selection of local brews, sparkling wines, mimosas, and sodas made with pure cane sugar.

Open daily 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Shuck is front of the OC Mart Mix at 3313 Hyland Avenue in Costa Mesa.
