Shuck Station - Newcastle

The Shuck Shack (aka Shuck Station Raw Bar) is in an old gas station on Main Street. We went on the recommendation of our Bed and Breakfast, and we were not disappointed. We got a sampling tray of oysters, which allowed us to try the various types of oyster from the area. It was great to compare the salinity, sweetness, and flavor of the various oysters. We also enjoyed a nice rich clam chowder, which went down well on a cool and blustery afternoon. We met several local families at the Shuck Shack who were celebrating life events, and they all agreed: get to The Shuck Shack early, it gets packed. Parking is convenient, service is excellent, the facilities are clean. Know that you'll be dining outdoors. A great experience!

We started with Station fries covered with Parmesan, chives, truffle oil and garlic aioli?damn delicious! I also had three Norembaga and three Pemaquid oysters. The Pemaquid were delicious, the Norembaga were a tad salty, yet delicious. We both had the Poké bowl with tuna, very tasty and full of fresh and pickled vegetables, even some fruit! I enjoyed it all with a Pemaquid brown ale, okay two! Nicest station bathroom I have been in too! Would definitely stop here again, when in Newcastle. The atmosphere is nice, including the oyster shell wall?

Food was good. Not a fan of the truffle fries. Thousand Island dressing or mayo odd dipping sauces for fried oysters. Service was good apart from the fact that no staff could lock the high quality umbrellas so they didn?t keep moving and hitting us in the light breeze.

Friendly staff and great hyper local oysters.. the two of us shared two dozen! Felt very comfortable outside nice, yet casual. Highly recommend the Oxbow Farmhouse Ale.

This place was great. The food was very good, the wine was outstanding but the service was what really impressed us. A particular shout out to Hannah who was professional, friendly and patient. She accommodated all of our requests and answered all of our questions (there were a lot! cheerfully and knowledgeably with a big smile.
