I'm Stewart Taylor and this is my little seafood shanty. STEWBY'S Seafood Shanty is based off an old family restaurant called Sam's Oyster House. Sam's Oyster House was founded by my father Sam Taylor back in the late 60s as a small seafood take-out. Sam's Oyster House was well known for fresh quality fried seafood. Serving fresh locally caught amberjack and shrimp, Sam's was considered the authority on fresh fried seafood. Sam's was actually the first to serve amberjack. Amberjack was considered trash fish and my father had to beg the fisherman to bring it to the docks.Sam's paved the way for most of the seafood restaurants in Fort Walton and Destin today.  Most are modeled after Sam's casual atmosphere and menu. However these restaurants don't have what I have and that is my fathers vision and most importantly his recipes.
