Not really, but I could see how they would be.
Before Allen's for me was a place called the Oyster House in Conshohocken (gone now, not the current one on Fayette)
Always left out in an open bowl on the tables with a container of horseradish.
Maybe that's why I liked Allen's, reminded me of the past.
Speaking of horseradish, pepper palace nasal napalm!
Speaking of places, Cornelius says "The first place in New Jersey I met them was at the Hotel De Crab in the bayside at Beach Haven, a seafood restaurant on stilts over the waters of the thorofare".

There is a certain technique to proper use of oyster crackers...
IIRC, they re-created that skit in the Three Stooges TV bio-pic from 25 years ago (which I thought was pretty good).
They look like the real deal... Location of said shoprite?

I don't want to hijack the thread, but where can a guy get a nice bowl of snapper soup nowadays?
Last winter I tried I frozen quart from Captain Chuckies in Runnemede & was disappointed ☹️

Lucien's Old Tavern in Berlin. Oh, wait a minute, That was 50 years ago..
All kidding aside, Ollie Gator's in the shopping center on the old Berlin Circle still has it. It's not bad, but it ain't like what Lucien's used to serve. Locals used to sell the snappers to them at the kitchen door in the summer.
The best snapper turtle meat I ever ate was made by the late Tony Pitale from Hammonton. He was the cook for the Monday night dinners at Rosedale Gun Club down the street from me. A couple of times a year they did fundraiser dinners and one of them was snapper and spaghetti. It was huge chunks of delicious oven roasted snapper in tomato gravy served over linguini. The snapper flaked with your fork. Tony was an amazing wild game cook. He would cook up all kinds of things with whatever anybody would bring in. He died in 2013.
That's a great memory! I recall going to Lucien's as a child, pre-teens (I'm 58) so that would've been pre-fire & when Raul's Army Navy was around. Thanks for the Ollie Gators tip. My go-to for it used to be Cap'n Cats in Verga.
I just grabbed a bag of Oyster Crackers at the Shop Rite Blackwood Clementon Rd X College Dr. I didn't see them at the cracker or soup isle, but in the seafood dept.

If you are ever in Seaville, NJ (small town outside Ocean City) there is a restaurant on Rt. 50 called Dino’s Diner. They make the best snapper soup I have ever had in South Jersey. And that includes all the high end restaurants in Cape May and Atlantic City. When they ask you if you want sherry, say yes! You can also get a quart to go, if you want.
