Sea Salt

Sea Salt brings the raw-bar experience down to earth. Part of the locally owned ChurchStreet Family, this downtown oyster bar serves East, West and Gulf Coast oysters alongside lobster cocktail, shrimp cocktail, seafood dips and tacos—all in a space that feels polished without becoming precious. The garage door rolls open toward Clinton Avenue, a colorful underwater mural fills the back patio and televisions make it just as workable for catching a game as lingering over oysters. It is one of downtown Huntsville’s best answers to that very specific hunger for cold shellfish, something crisp to drink and the temporary illusion that the coast is much closer than it is
