I hope everyone had a very happy Holiday and is having a good new year. It is OYSTER time. Fried, raw, sauteed....however you like them, it's time to eat them. Find the freshest, best you can afford and sit down to a wonderfully romantic and fun meal.
I recently enjoyed dinner at the "Shuck Shack"--a new laid back restaurant in East Austin (check out many new fun restaurants in this Original Outings hot spot!!). Good music and twinkle lights surround you in what felt to me like a large back yard. The service was great and what can beat raw oysters at 6 bucks a dozen and $2 LoneStars!??
If you have a higher budget and want to check out a snazzier spot, Perla's on South Congress, is a great choice. Their oysters run you $12-$18/half dozen, but from what I hear it is worth the dough.
These are some good Austin spots, but if you don't live here ask around for oyster bars in your area and then post them here!
Healthy note: There are only 110 calories in a dozen raw oysters and TONS of vitamins and minerals. So even if you don't fall in love over oysters, you will definitely fall in love with them.
