It’s said that consuming oysters involves an artful ritual. From the shucking of these sweet ivory sea creatures, to the anointing of sauces, to the layering of the downturned shells back on to the plate, every step determines whether or not you’ll enjoy these shellfishes.
This is why it’s not that easy to find a good oyster bar. Here are 15 great oyster bars that serve up fresh fare that you’d want to check out for your next oyster feast.
