The key to our Smoked Tuna Dip lies in the exceptional ingredients we use, starting with the premium tuna sourced from Waterstreet Seafood in Apalachicola. Known for its pristine waters and rich fishing heritage, Apalachicola is home to some of the best seafood in the world. Water Street Seafood provides us with the freshest tuna, ensuring that every bite of our dip is bursting with authentic coastal flavor.


The Waterstreet Seafood team carefully smokes the tuna to perfection, imparting a rich, smoky flavor that elevates this dish to a whole new level. The smoking process is an art form, balancing the right amount of heat and time to achieve a tender, flavorful result that melts in your mouth. The smoky undertones complement the natural sweetness of the tuna, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that keeps our guests coming back for more.


Our Smoked Tuna Dip has not only won the hearts of our patrons but also earned accolades and awards in culinary competitions. Its unique flavor profile and high-quality ingredients have made it a standout dish that exemplifies the best of what Shunk Gulley has to offer.


Whether you're a local or a visitor, a trip to Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar wouldn't be complete without trying our famous Smoked Tuna Dip. Served with crispy crackers, it's the perfect starter to share with friends and family as you soak in the laid-back atmosphere and stunning Gulf views.
