"Oysters might not be your top association with Knoxville, but when you cozy up in the Brass Pearl’s handsome banquettes with freshly shucked oysters on crushed ice, crispy shrimp po’boys, and creamy lobster dip it’s easy to forget you’re in a landlocked state. Don’t leave this Market Square boite without trying the homemade hot sauce served with tiny droppers — they’re also available to purchase and take home." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Kellie Walton
