Salt Traders Coastal Cooking

I was able to get a table right away despite being peak hours for the restaurant. The restaurant has a very lovely atmosphere. I came to this restaurant about a year ago and it hasn't changed much, the food and one are still great and depending on where you were seated you might get an overhead view of the town. The white wine was great, it is a Spanish wine I recommend you try a glass. If I would salmon was also very delectable, the gumbo was very good; try a cup. For next time I should try their oysters and see how those measure up.

This place was super busy last time I was here, so I decided to come early. I went with the Fried Fish & Shrimp Platter. I expected it to be a smaller serving, so I was not surprised when it came out. ($21) I will say, however, that it was very delicious. The shrimp were a good size, lightly battered, and very tasty. Especially with the great shrimp sauce. The fish was full, perfectly cooked, and excellent: moist, a little heavier breading, and satisfying. I washed it all down with some fresh squeezed lemonade. The staff was friendly, quick, & professional, and the ambiance was great. Give it a try.

Oysters were indeed fresh and great for the price! I think they're the best I've tried in Austin so far. Comparable to NYC HH oysters but prices slightly steeper and not $1/ea. This is likely due to Texas being a land locked state. Surprisingly, the grilled oysters were also flavorful and delicious. I'm usually a raw oyster kinda gal and even these were scrumptious! Also ordered a lobster roll, scallop entree, gumbo soup, and dessert. They were alright. The oysters were the star of the show.
