Panama City, FL – July 27, 2022 – In celebration of National Oyster Day on August 5, 2022, Destination Panama City is teaming with Hunt’s Oyster Bar to celebrate guests who eat their very first oyster at the restaurant. Whether you slurp it raw on the half shell, devour it fried, or try it baked with house butter and parmesan cheese (a local favorite), you’ll get a special “Golden Oyster” keepsake to take home to mark the occasion. 

“At Hunt’s, every day we see the excitement on the faces of someone trying their first oyster. We partnered with Destination Panama City so we could turn that experience into a cherished keepsake that will always remind them of Hunt’s and Panama City,” says Collins Abrams, owner of Hunt’s Oyster Bar.

“The Panama City Oyster Trail is a soul (and belly) filling experience; and, we’re proud to have Hunt’s Oyster Bar as a part of this savory trail,” said Jennifer Vigil, CEO of Destination Panama City. Serving up fresh seafood for more than 55 years, Hunt’s Oyster Bar is just one of a dozen stops on the Panama City Oyster Trail, spanning the neighborhoods of Millville, Historic Downtown, and St. Andrews. Housed in an iconic yellow bungalow, Hunt’s Oyster Bar is a staple in Panama City, Florida – a city that has become an oyster-lovers paradise. Oysters take on the taste of their surroundings, and the privileged environment along the Gulf Coast produces what many consider to be the best oysters in the world. 

From the sight of the little yellow building by the bay to the familiar crunch of the crushed oyster shells under your feet as you walk through the parking lot, Hunt’s has that one-of-a-kind nostalgia that always brings you back. So, whether you’re an oyster connoisseur or it’s your first oyster, a trip to Hunt’s is another reason we #LovePC.
