AJ's Seafood and Oyster Bar

AJ's is everyone's favorite place in Destin; the parking lot alone gives credence to that fact. The restaurant section of the complex, down by the harbor, is marked by a cascading water wall and fishing floats hanging overhead. The dining room gleams with varnished wood, and windows are open to the breezes and the view. Jimmy Buffett tunes play in the background. On the menu, seafood is prominent and is served grilled, fried and steamed. There's a selection of oysters as well, along with pasta dishes and a ribeye. The catch of the day, unloaded from the docks just outside of the restaurant, is guaranteed fresh. If you're in the area, make sure you give the place a try, but come early.
