Maybe in the panhandle, which I think has barely edible oysters, but nowhere else I've ever seen. $3 an oyster is the going rate for cold water oysters around town, which seems about a dollar high to me, but doesn't seem too hard to get by the restaurants.

I would love to know what distributor you called because we buy directly from a west coast farm and can't get a price that cheep. How long ago was the "last time I priced them out"?

A much as I'd like to see an Acme Oyster House-type place in town, or a Sarge's Deli, I have a feeling that taking those places away from their cultural home causes them to lose something that just can't be duplicated.
