My GF and I love them. We go to the local Shaw’s quite a bit and take advantage of the 1/2 price oysters from 3-6. Have tried a bunch of varieties- and since I have a bad memory- I started taking notes on the ones we like and the ones we don’t really care for. Keep it on my Iphone- and would appear we have an east coast bias on the ones we like. Love that Shaw’s has different varieties to try- and are always cold and fresh! Just use a squeeze of lemon and maybe the nice semi frozen mignonette they serve with them. No cocktail sauce!! What are you faves??
Our go to’s are Island Creek and Wellfleet(they seem to have these the most also).
We wash them down with a Grey Goose Martini up, very very cold with a blue cheese olive.
