Pier 81 — Restaurant in Enid

So I just tried Pier 81 for the first time since their opening and I was thoroughly impressed. I started off with an order of hush puppies, fried calamari and 2 raw oysters(1st time eating raw oysters). The hush puppies were full of flavor and the calamari was absolutely delicious and fried to a perfect golden brown. Being this was my first time trying raw oysters I decided I had better put a bit of Tabasco sauce on them to help the mental block I was putting on myself. After putting the oyster on to a cracker, I opened wide and was delightfully surprised at how yummy and good they were. Moving on after the appetizers I decided to choose the largest pre-picked boiler they offer, the Dreadnaught. I chose to get a snow crab cluster and lobster tail as my main meat options and then went with 1lb of shrimp and 1lb black mussels as my add-on’s. Next came the difficult choice of what seasoning and spice level. I didn’t stray far from my norm and went with spicy Cajun. After a much anticipated short wait my tray came out completely overflowing with food. (did I forget to mention you also get 2 corns and 2 red potato’s)

Every single mouthful of food was bursting with flavor and the spice level was just right to make your lips burn just a touch. I think I counted 29-30 shrimp and over 25 mussels in the “pound” they advertise on the menu. The servers were all walking by saying “that’s a lot of food. No way you’ll eat it all”

Well folks, challenge accepted and conquered. Now that I’m done it is time to slip in to a food coma for a bit but I will most definitely be back for round 2 and try something different

Knowing this was their launch day I expected some issues. Wife and I ordered the crabmeat fries you see in the picture. First order was way under cooked fries were soggy. I told the waitress she took them back to have another order made. That order was actually pretty good. The fries needed some garlic butter or a light sauce on them to make the shredded crabmeat stick to the fires. This was served with no utensils, nor plates, just the basket. Kinda hard to eat with the meat just falling off of the fries. But the flavor was really good. Also not a fan of crinkle cut fries. The main entree I ordered was the Corvette. 1/2lb of mussels, 1/2lb of shrimp, 1/2 lb of crawfish. Had sausage, potatoes, and corn mixed in as well. This thing was Huge! The mussels were incredible, the shrimp was amazing too, the crawfish was over cooked but crawfish is very forgiving. So they were still sweet and delicious. The garlic butter sauce, with medium heat was definitely a great choice. The sauce just kept me going back for more. My wife got the Cajun sauce and I got to say hers was insane. If I had one complaint it would only be that the potatoes were kinda big so they didn’t absorb the flavor. But that is a great complaint to have. This place was awesome, we will for sure be back. 2 people, 1 appetizer, 2 meals, 2 drinks came to $60 we left $20 for a tip. This type of quality seafood is worth every dollar. The quantity matched the quality,...

I pulled in here, not really knowing what to expect. It's hard to trust a seafood place when the ocean is no where close. I got the Frigate boil and added a cluster of dungeness crab, with garlic herb butter seasoning. I was surprised by how much food came in the boil, I took me a while to finish it ,but I was determined.

A bunch of unpeeled shrimp, a bunch of sliceded sausage, a few potatoes and 3 corn on the cobblets. A clusters of snow crab, 1 lobster tail and the dungeness crab. The shrimp and and the sausage was amazing. The potatoes were tender and really soaked up the flavor of the boil. The crabs, the snow crab was over cooked (tough and sticks to the shell making it hard to get out), but still good. The dungeness was ok. But like I said what do you expect when your that far from the ocean. The lobster tail was good but it really didn't want to get out of the shell.

If you're in the mood for seafood I would recommend you stop by. I will be...
