Two hours west of New Orleans, two hours east of the Texas border and 30 minutes south of Lafayette, Louisiana from Interstate 10 rests the very heart of Cajun Country, Abbeville, Louisiana.  Abbeville is truly a treasure chest full of the fruits of the sea and goodness of the earth. Situated 20 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico and surrounded by extremely rich farmland, Abbeville boast an abundance of fresh seafood including shrimp, oysters and crabmeat, choicest beef and pork, wild game especially duck, crawfish, alligator and staples such as rice, soy beans and sugarcane.

So where can you find the culmination of all these wonderful gifts of nature?  The answer is SHUCKS! THE Louisiana Seafood House.  Founded in 1995 SHUCKS! embodies the essence of authentic Cajun Cuisine.  In addition, SHUCKS! reveals the beauty of the Cajun culture.  Each guest is treated like family and the primary focus of the staff is to provide each guest with exactly what they want and more.

Our recipes are handed down from generation to generation and use the freshest of ingredients.  Our simple blend of seasonings confuse the most knowledgeable of diners as they insist an exotic herb or pepper must be used in our dishes.  Come to think of it there is one ingredient that sets our food apart, love!  We Cajuns love to share our food and hospitality with the world.  We prepare each stuffed shrimp, each bowl of crawfish etouffee, each plate of fried or grilled oysters with love and pride.

Our philosophy at SHUCKS! is quite simple, if you don’t love what you order you simply don’t pay.  There is, however, one condition, at some point during the course of your meal … YOU MUST STOP EATING!!!  Welcome to our restaurant, welcome to our home, welcome to SHUCKS!
