SHUCKS! - Truly A Cajun Experience "Hospitality is a gift the Cajun people have, like some people are blessed with the gift of music," ~David Bertrand, co-owner of Shucks! The Louisiana Seafood House!

On more than one occasion during the negotiation of the sale, the previous owners spoke of folks from around the country expressing an interest in having a SHUCKS! location near their home.
