Anyone know of a good place to eat oysters locally? Rodney's Oyster House?

I've been craving oysters lately ever since a trip down to South Carolina, where they have oysters from there too.

Blue Water Cafe is my favorite but it can get $$$.

[unit]

lobsterman, shuck em yourself

[JayEch]

fishhouse at standley park

[sonick]

Rodney's is nice and chill but pricey.

[Liquid_o2]

Sandbar usually has a pretty decent list of local BC oysters. Same as Joe Fortes.

I've only had them once at Blue Water, while good, quite expensive.

I <3 oysters

[K-Dub]

Don't forget Rodney's has happy hour, 3-6pm I think at $1.50/oyster.
Boathouse also has happy hour, 3-6pm, $1/oyster.
There's also the recently opened RawBar on Howe st.

[ShyGuy]

I like boathouse happy hour because you can request Kumamoto and Kusshi oysters for $1/each. You can't even buy them for that price at the Lobsterman

[Hondaracer]

no cow tongues please, other than that sure :D

[sonick]

How bout Prairie Oysters? :D

[Culture_Vulture]

I can vouch for Rodney's too, great atmosphere.

[sonick]

The back room of Rodney's is really chill, it's slightly 'fancier' with a different, more expensive menu.

One time they were full in the main room, I sat in the little 4-person bar in the corner of the back room, talking to the schucker and other strangers at the bar, good times. They gave us us a taste of these super fresh scallops that just came in, raw with a light vinaigrette. So nice.

[rageguy]

+1 on Rodney's. I love kusshi.

[willystyle]

Where's a good market to buy fresh oysters at a great price?

[JSilver]

Joe Fortes.

[miss_crayon]

Joe fortes, rodneys and if you get a chance--Hog Island in Sanfrancisco. Omgggggg!!!!!! So effin good!

But if you just want to fill the craving, Ebisu will do it. Relatively cheap and always fresh!!

Planning to go to rodneys tonight!

[Durrann]

happy hour at rodneys seems pretty dope
damn now im craving

[Vale46Rossi]

Went to Rodneys a few days ago,

3 of us....

2 dozen oysters

2 crabs (due to too small)

1 deep fried oysters

1 garlic prawn....

Bill came up to $267.... super expensive

and they charged me 18% tip automatically even though I did not have a party of 6 or more....

Food was very good but was no one was full and very expensive.

We did not have any drinks too.

[chin3se604]

if you love oysters but cant afford to spend that much

could always consider going to an ayce sushi restaurant like bc sushi and eat as much oysters as you want

quality and taste wont be the same though

[LiquidTurbo]

^ I'm talking about delicious, fresh, raw oysters, not BC sushi cooked shit in a fake shell.

[henry604]

If you want a good deal, go to Whole Foods Market on Cambie.
The seafood department as 5-6 variety of of fresh BC oysters.
They can shuck if for you there. The price ranges from $.79 to $1.49 depending on the oyster. You can even eat it there, they have a cafe.

[Phil@rise]

^ I'm talking about delicious, fresh, raw oysters, not BC sushi cooked shit in a fake shell.

There are a few ayce sushi places around that do offer "fresh" oysters but I don't find them that fresh they are generally pre shucked and sit on ice thus loosing some of the flavour

[BinsentoW]

When I asked about it last time, they didnt have kumamotos for $1.
Which one did you go to?

[LiquidTurbo]

^ Ya I just went to Boathouse in Richmond and they didn't have them...

I go there for their happy hour and I find it expensive, nevermind for their regular price. LOL

Though I do eat like a dozen oysters to myself.. lol

i can easily eat a few dozen oysters to myself.

Your bank card might! Anyone know any good places in Seattle?

Tried the Oysters @ Aki, a Japanese place downtown on Thurlow. The place is a real gem.

This was 5.50, which I thought was a pretty good deal. Fresh raw oysters dressed in their Ponzu sauce!

Oyster Seafood & Raw Bar also offers $1/oyster on Fridays during Happy Hour. Place is a little cramped but decent.

[Supafly]

i love fresh oysters....:troll:

I know this is a thread for fresh raw oysters (which I love), but as a side question, where are the best places to get Oyster Rockefellers?

[Obsideon]

Ebisu on Robson sells Royal Miyagi's at a very reasonable price and are guaranteed super fresh, we sell hundreds every night so we get new stock daily (inside note: from the same supplier as many "top-end" oyster bars)
People who pay a premium price for the same oyster are just kidding themselves into thinking it's "better". I've seen Royal Miyagi on the fresh sheet at Joe Fortes and Rodney's going for close to $3 per piece ($18 for half a dozen) and they can't possibly be any "fresher" than any other "good" restaurant unless they dive into the ocean to dig them up as soon as you place your order. Ebisu's oyster sell so fast, they are shucked only when you order them, they don't sit in the restaurant for more than hours at a time. Ebisu sells it for $16 for a dozen, during Happy Hour it's even cheaper, 99 cents per piece.

My 2 cents. :)

Ah fuck I'm coming down there my friend works at ebisu Richmond :P

[k3lv]

Oyster - Seafood and Rawbar was pretty good. $1/oyster all day from what the waitress told me, cool little spot, very few seats but I enjoyed the raw oysters! The $1 ones are not given a choice of which you get, but they will include some of the more expensive per oyster ones. Their $36 for 18 oysters will net you more of the fancy ones.

[BlackZRoadster]

What's this place called ? Oyster?

I went to Oyster yesterday too. Daily happy hour 3-7pm, $1/oyster. Ridiculously small place, but very intimate.

there used to be a restaurant on Oak and 16th offers a lot of different oyster dishes and had a good selection of half shells .. I remember they made very good oyster rockfellers .. anyone here know which one I am talking about and where did they moved to or simply closed down?

[Obsideon]

Happy Hour runs from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, 7 days a week :D

I must make a point to go check out that "Oyster" place, sounds like a great little spot. As much as I love Ebisu I don't feel like coming back to the place that I spend 60+ hours a week to eat haha :p

[pherio]

Does Boathouse still have their buck-a-shuck going on?

Thanks for keeping happy hour past 6pm, it's hard to get downtown after school/work to make it on time. Oyster is really small, I counted 20 seats total.

Does Boathouse still have their buck-a-shuck going on?

Yep, I just posted it today!

At every Boathouse location, oysters are $1 each during happy hour 3-6pm (http://www.boathouserestaurants.ca/news/index.php), and may vary according to season and availability...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2571/5761238236_d73e3d1d3c_o.jpg

...
One catch is that a minimum $2.99 beverage must be purchased, which is easy to do as they have $4.99 drink specials everyday.

I'm never paying a premium for oysters again, happy hour is the true price! :P

[Shorn]

Joe Fortes was pretty good. I didn't know which type of oyster to get and the server gave us a platter with all different kinds and explained them. haha.

[Obsideon]

^ but it cost you an arm and a leg, and maybe your other leg too right? ;)

[rageguy]

I love the raw oysters at Ebisu. It tastes just as good as expensive places like Rodney's. Ebisu is priced aggressively too. Speaking of Ebisu, I never picked up my VIP card from when Ebisu launched LOL

I've been to this ayce place, Tomakazu on broadway near oak, a couple of times and always get cut off in less than an hour. I fear the bill at these other places. Are they at least bigger so I don't decimate my wallet?

I went to Oyster Raw Bar on Monday.
I expected the place to be small but DAYAM it SMALL!... I think it fits about 15 people, 20 if you push it to the MAX! There was also this one super awkward looking table shoved into the corner right beside the walkway haha... but the place does give off a very intimate feel. Got myself a bottle of wine that was 50% off that night, Happy Hour oysters were serving Pacific Rim which were tiny but tasty. Also got the Steamer which was lacking in flavour and not worth it at $19 a pop.

PERSONALLY for Happy Hour, I would rather go Boatside for the atmosphere (can't beat a hot sunny day being on the patio while literally on Kits beach with the breeze blowing, ocean waves crashing, sipping wine & slurping oysters) or Rodney's because they have more to offer during Happy Hour and the other appies taste good too.

Eh That place sucks for oysters they were so small when i went a couple weeks ago...

Joe Fortes > boathouse.

The waiter for the entire top floor? Dislike
Super tiny oysters ? Dislike
Cramp space ? Dislike.

does Joe Fortes have happy hrs for oysters?

Touche on all 3 accounts. Oyster Raw Bar is intimate and small and maybe not the best for summer happy hours. : )

[6insomnia9]

There is no happy hour at Joe fortes unfortunately for oysters that is.

[milkmilk101]

The Oyster rawbar happy hour does not offer any variety of oysters. and they are not that great beside the price. I had a dozen of the happy hour one and move on to order others from the menu. little wings taste great!!

[Vale46Rossi]

Today... I was at Ebisu Richmond.

Oysters were sooo cheap!

But an issue was they were shucked terribly...

Each and every oyster had many small pieces of broken shell in it... I had to actually threw away a bunch of them... I wanted to order another dozen but couldn't stand all the broken shell.

[TOS'd]

Mmm had some today, yummy

[LiquidTurbo]

YUM.

another 1 dozen came with it... I m so sick of oysters at the moment... lol
