Oysters. Those beautiful briny bivalves known for being shucked and slurped by the dozen, as well as helping Cupid draw his bow, will officially be celebrated on Tuesday, Aug. 5, National Oyster Day.
Whether you’re an east or west coast fan, prefer classic Blue Point or Olympia, if you dream of iced trays of freshly-opened oysters, with lemon wedges, horseradish and hot sauce waiting, this is your day for deals and more.
Want more? How about a contest? That’s right, the fifth annual South Florida’s Shucking Best Oyster Eating Contest will be held at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8 (so sue them for not celebrating it on the exact day)…
