Bob Robertson opened Aw Shucks Oyster Bar in 1983 with the goal of bringing an authentic seafood shack to Dallas.

More than 40 years later, the restaurant has opened four additional locations, including Big Shucks in Richardson and Aw Shucks in Frisco, but the restaurant hasn’t deviated from that original goal under the ownership of Bob’s sons—Eric and Nick Peterson.

On the menu: The food at Big Shucks revolves around sourcing fresh seafood three times a week and preparing it “very simply,” Nick Peterson said.

“We are going to do Gulf seafood on your plate as fresh as we possibly can get it,” Eric Peterson said. “That's the secret. The secret is that there is no secret. It's not a matter of having a five-star Michelin chef in the back, or anything like that. We get good stuff, and we don't compromise on that ever.”

“We want to make it as comfortable and inviting as possible, just like a seafood shack on the side of the ocean,” Nick Peterson said.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed June 3 that a case of the New World screwworm, a parasitic fly, was detected on a cattle ranch in South Texas.

The overview: The case marks the first domestic detection of screwworm in a decade and the first Texas case in approximately 50 years. The flesh-eating parasite is a threat to the state’s $15.5 billion cattle industry.

Zooming in: No additional infestations have been identified, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins told reporters. Federal and state officials have emphasized that they do not anticipate issues with the food supply chain, as the screwworm only targets live animals and does not infest meat, fruit or vegetables.

However, experts have warned that a larger, prolonged screwworm outbreak could cause a spike in beef prices.

A widespread infestation is estimated to cost Texas at least $1.8 billion per year in damages, according to a USDA analysis of a 1976 screwworm outbreak. Texas cattle, sheep and goat producers would face about $732 million in annual losses.
