Raw Oysters Where do you guys prefer to go when it comes down to raw oysters? Asian places.. white places? How much are they each? Cheap..? Expensive? I usually don't eat raw oysters but I did recently tried it at Manzo Izakaya in Richmond and it was soo good.. Boy was I missing out.. LOL but it was a little bit expensive for a one. like 3.50.. Suggestions? :) |
Ebisu on Robson during happy hour! One dollar each between 430 and 630 I think. |
Rodney's Oyster Bar Gas Town. Not too bad price wise, I think they have specials too. Always busy Merchant's Oyster Bar on Commercial. Pretty good there as well, they also have specials |
Don't really eat them. But if I had to choose, then likely Joe Fortes. I don't really trust asian places for certain foods. :joy: |

Does Joe Fortes have happy hour buck a shuck? |
Chewies has buck a shuck (IIRC 5-7pm for kits and 3-6 for coal harbour); Oyster Express in Chinatown (former Rodney's guy); Merchant's or go to Whole Foods, they shuck and pack them on a bed of ice in a plastic tray |
I GOT THIS GUYS! I fucking love cheap oysters ebisu robson/richmond both have specials during happy hour 430-6pm, 99c/pc but they are all royal miyagi (I think) and sometimes they taste a bit too "cooked" since they need to kill bacteria and such. A downside is that they pre garnish it so its basically same flavor town every single one. Oyster express in chinatown is awesome, they have buck a shuck specials pretty ofter (everyday? cant remember) but they limit you to a single kind of oyster, and only 1 dozen per person with the buck a shuck. After that its regular price. Merchant oyster bar used to have buck a shuck all day long sunday and tues, but last time I went they got into top ten places to eat with some online food thing. They dropped the buck a shuck (I was there just 3 weeks prior and they still had buck a shuck) and are doing the standard $1.50 per during happy hour. Still is my favorite place though because they usually have 2-3 oysters on special, and if they run out of a kind they will replace it with another rather than dropping the special all together. Rodneys is good, just $$, and their happy hour is difficult to go to since its something like 3-5pm. Happy hour $1.50/pc Raw bar in DT has buck a shuck during happy hours, place feels really cramped though and ambiance is kinda weird. Slow to shuck since they are so small, but its not bad. So far thats all the places I feel is worth going to, always on the look out for buck a shuck! We should have a buck a shuck thread. |
Wow this is great!! $1-1.50 each?!?! One dozen oysters is more than enough for me LOL can't wait to try!! Thanks everybody!! I've always thought about trying Rodney's or Joe Fortes but it sounds kind of expensive haha. BEEN THINKING ABOUT OYSTERS ALL WEEK!! I need to satisfy my cravings YES we should have a buck a shuck thread. haha |
used to go to Raw but I think they closed down. man the oysters there were awesome Ebisu happy hour is pretty awesome for buck a shuck Fish Shack downtown also has buck a shuck but never been. I been to Oyster Express in Chinatown on Keefer and it was okay. They do have a buck a shuck as well according to their website TUE 4:30-9:30 / WED, THU, SUN 4:30-6:30 Rodneys low tide special is good too, kinda pricey during regular hours Joe Fortes is bomb too but also gets pricey. I dont think they have any specials for oysters theres also Merchant on Commercial dr |

Perhaps it's just perception, but I'd never go to an Asian place for cheap oysters, save for Ebisu which I've tried/had. Through the years I've gotten away from the buck a shuck stuff because I've grown attached to Kusshi oysters, which are never offered during those times. I've found over the years that I'm not a huge fan of the bigger oysters anymore (that tend to be offered for cheap). But different strokes! |
Whole foods on cambie and broadway. They have a variety to choose from and they shuck them for you and put them on a bed of ice. |
Every place downtown usually do happy hour on oysters from 3-5, I know that oysters raw bar on Howe does 75 cents from 3-4 and 4-6 it is 1 dollar. But it is closed right now for renovations. The coast and Joe fortes are really good as well, better than rodneys imo because I don't care for much of their sauces and it is usually way too packed there. There is also Blue Water Café + Raw Bar as well. |
^ u sure its closed for renovations lol I tried calling their number awhile back and it was like not in service that place was awesome for oysters just kinda small |
I'm not too sure man , i looked inside the building and they are renovating the whole ground floor from what i can see. |

And when it comes to things that are basically the garbage cans of the sea, that limit would be 12 or so, as delicious as they are ;) |
:concentrate:yeah.. id probably just eat like 5 at the most. LOL dont want to ruin my love for it. since we're on the topic of oysters.. where's your favorite place for oyster motoyaki?? mine is at a place called 89 inn!!.. super random place on fraser and like 48th. i havent had it in a while but id order take out since the rest of their food sucks. it's like a canadian/chinese joint fused with japanese. lol very random. nothing fancy. im not a big fan of the creamy buttery motoyakis.. i like the ones with sauteed onions and mushrooms and just a thin layer of the cheese/mayo YUMMM https://scontent-a-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/...00752009_n.jpg |
OMG oyster motoyaki is hard to come by here... I miss it so much :sweetjesus: |
^ dạm that's looks good lol def gonna try this soon! Been looking for a good oyster motoyaki place as well. I usually go to Guu |
For buying raw oysters to eat at home, I have always wondered; are the ones typically sold in grocery stores ok to eat raw or should only be eaten cooked? |
If restaurants have to post warnings that customers run the risk of food poisoning by consuming them. What's the likelihood that the ones in stores are safe. :rukidding: |
