Shucks! Abbeville

November 5, 2025

In 1973, Harold Hebert, an oyster fisherman from Golden Meadow, Louisiana, and his wife Doris leased a small oyster bar in Abbeville, LA. The oyster bar had been in operation since the late 1800’s and operated under the name Dupuy’s Oyster Bar. The concept combined home cooking and a fun, inviting atmosphere. Guests would receive generous portions resulting in a tremendous value for their money.

In 1979, Harold and Doris decided to sell the restaurant to their daughters Linda and Diane and Diane’s husband Jack Phares. Over the next 15 years, Linda, Diana and Jack served up world class oysters and seafood specialties, which attracted folks from around the U.S. and abroad. The growth and popularity of the restaurant was so great that in 1994, when the lease was up, Linda, Diane and Jack decided to leave Dupuy’s behind and open a larger, more modern facility. They even changed the name to SHUCKS!
