Approach Dollar Oyster Nights With Care
As someone who is just now cheating the super way into the oyster, I understand the siren-like “dollar oyster of the night.” However, according to oyster expert Rowan Jacobsen , not all budget oyster evenings are created the same.
It’s not that you shouldn’t be looking for a deal, but make sure you are driving to a place you can trust. Real oyster bars and seafood restaurants are your best bet, as the oysters will not only be fresh, but also cleaned properly. If you are unsure of the status of your bivalve clam supplier, feel free to ask questions about where these oysters came from, what those oysters are (the rightful place should give you a name) and when they got them inside. If your server can’t answer these questions, it’s best to look elsewhere for the salty joy.
