Oysters?

[DianaNS]

Is there anywhere on site that has a raw oyster bar.
We were in New Orleans last year and enjoyed these immensely?

Bloo zoo? Fultons? Epcot? anywhere

Thanks

I love oysters too. It's sad that they are so hard to find most of the time. I fell in love with them at first bite, when I was about 3 years old. I think my Dad wished that he had never let me try them at that point, because I was so hooked on them that I no longer wanted to eat my shrimp. lol

Unfortunately, I don't know of any place that sells them on property. Maybe someone else does. Anyone?

You can only get Oysters at Fultons $9.95 for 1/2 or $17.95 Doz

Fultons does but they are Washington state Oysters. Don't expect a salty tasty oyster like you had in NaaawLens. The quarter is impossible to beat for seafood....especially Oystahs and poor boys. mmmmmm I can't wait to go back. Look out Cafe du Mond !

Does Fulton's still fly in oysters from all around the country? We ate there last in '97, and at that time they had a pretty good selection of east and west coast oysters.

I'm not sure. I just pulled up a menue from another site and it only listed Oysters from Washington State. They do not, or at least didn't in the past have a Oyster bar. There are a few reasons I don't buy them outside of a raw bar. A lot of times they are shucked in advance and set in a refrigerator topless. They loose a lot of flavor very fast. Also when a oyster is shucked by someone inexperienced they tend to cut them up a bit. There is nothing more unpleasant than a tasteless cut up raw oyster....YUCH ! If you've had good fresh ones at a raw bar you will most likely notice the difference. I still like Fultons for many of there other dishes.

Hi,

I am pretty sure you would be happy with Blue Zoo at the Dolphin. Their raw bar is the most extensive. I've attached a link...

Todd English's Blue Zoo at the Dolphin (http://www.swandolphin.com/restaurants/bluezoo/menu.cfm?menu_id=3)

Enjoy!

I used to love my business trips to New Orleans. Mondays were Red Beans and Rice. The rest of the week oysters.

If you are ever in NYC and are an oyster lover check out the following.

What an awesome menue. a place where I could get real smoked salmon and raw oysters in the same setting !! As a chef I have to say I have spent very little time in NYC. When I see menues like that I realize that I'm a bit remiss in my travels. If I could just stop DW from shopping.....hmmmmm
