When it comes to seafood, these guys aren’t messing around! When it comes to oysters, you have the opportunity to order either Pacific or Rock oysters from their raw oyster bar, both of which are only shucked once ordered.
With eight varieties of oysters available on their menu, if you’re looking for the best oyster in town, chances are you’ll find it here. To start we recommend the mignonette oysters, or if you’re feeling adventurous, try the Thai-style from their grilled oyster selection.
Head down to C Seafood & Oyster Bar on Friday between 5 and 7pm for ‘Buck a Shuck’, to sample their fine produce for just $1 an oyster.
