Best raw oysters?

oh doogy, you are so correct. march is to be included. and i second mitchells for seafood. you'll have to excuse my brain. i was beaten on the head a few days ago and have a mild concussion. my mistake. thanks for pointing that out doogy. annemarie

I am sorry to hear about you getting beat in the head. I was not being mean or anything. I am here to help. I hope you recovery quickly. BTW, Mitchell's is my fave seafood place in the Ville.

doogy, i never took it as being mean at all. you corrected me. my brain was in non thinking mode and mitchells is a good place for seafood. so close to our homes. i like martini's too. owned by the same corp. but i did hear the manger of martini's may be a future owner. did you hear that also?

I believe he may already be. You know what I really like at both places is their after 4pm bar menu. Many items for only $2.95. HOW can you beat that? Wanna meet. I think you are married but bring him along anyhow. LOL.

lol, no i'm widowed. being single i get take out a lot. martini's has half off drinks and appetizers certain days of the week at the bar only. i'm nursing a few bruises. we should meet. we are practically neighbors. i have an inkling of where you reside. we are close. and close to martini's...

Oh my, you are so nice.

I live at Shadow Ridge. Was in Norton Commons 3 times last week.

i guessed correctly. one for me......... lol

And maybe one for me. Seriously, Mitchell's has great seafood.

They do have good food and I always have the best experiences with their serving staff. We even went there VDay because I am not a big fan of the priced fixed menus that a lot of the local fine dining places do on holidays.

I'm looking for a beer drinking, 12 oysters on a serving tray, type of atmophere.

Ok, I am going to be that guy.......Hooters ???

There was an article in the C-J today about Joe's OK Bayou, mentioned that their oysters were good; never been there myself so I can't verify.

as the saying goes. eat your oysters with the months that have the letter "R" in them. so this would technically be the last month (february) to eat oysters. . i would try the oakroom for oysters. i myself like them raw or rockerfella style.

annemarie, doesn't March have an R in it?

I would also suggest Mitchell's as a good place to get raw oysters.

The way I spell, April also has an R.

My favorites are the Stellar Bays at Z's. The last time I was there they had a collection of the Hood Canals, which are good. Just not to the level of the Stellars...

Alan, I'm so disappointed in you....

Stellar Bay... BEST OYSTERS EVER. deep shell, plump and juicy meat, sweet/briny flavor... mmmmmm.
with a glass of champagne, of course (or muscadet?!?!) !!!

i concur

also... the old, old saying refers to months that END in the letter 'R'
but it is antiquated and , for many reasons, basically irrelevant anymore

Jay's Oyster Bar on the waterfront in Portland, Maine.....Not exactly in driving distance is it....

I've been known to slug down some oysters at Hooter's myself ....They do shuck em' fresh and they are nicely chilled, plump gulf oysters...However, there are more refined offerings out there that have already been mentioned if you don't care for the "atmosphere" at Hooter's

During one of our "Let's all meet there" dinners we tried the oysters and WOW were they fresh, plump and reasonabley priced. My Son works there and gives us a heads up on when a case is brought in.

They are hit or miss so you may want to call ahead and make sure they have them on hand.
