Craving raw oysters? You’re in the right place!

By: Christine Becker.

To eat your first oyster is to plunge into the unfamiliar – it demands courage and curiosity to release one’s inhibitions and taste the wild sea. With head tilted backwards, each slurp of an oyster’s translucent, brine liquor combined with a slight chew of its cool, supple body renders an unforgettable, sleek mouthfeel. The oyster connects us to our home’s coastal shores.

Eastern oysters, an elite class of mollusks native to our cold, New England waters, are not only a gastronomes’ delight but a cultural tradition and a celebrated end-of-day activity in the form of happy hour. Presented on the half shell perched on a bed of crushed ice and brightened with a squeeze of lemon, oysters pair perfectly with a tall glass of Pilsner, a dry white wine, or even a cold-weather stout – their chocolate and caramel tones offsetting the oyster’s salinity. 

Check out the map below to locate restaurants throughout Southeastern Massachusetts featuring $1 oyster specials in what we here at Edible SEMA, refer to as, “Buck-a-Shuck.”

Enjoy, Edible community!
