Have you ever had that craving for oysters or a yearning crab legs and had no idea of a place in your NYC neighborhood to get them? Or maybe you felt like indulging in a plate of moules frites but are trying to stick to a budget in the tight economy. Well, I've been there and it is positively irritating. You end up always checking sites like Yelp or Citysearch and end up with the same suggestions over and over again. And sigh, complaining that there isn't a centralized site dedicate to the luscious taste of shellfish.
It's bullocks.
Let's change that. This blog will try to assemble information on who is serving shellfish where as well as let you know when to mark your calendars for deals or specials. I'll be indescriminant on locale - restaurants and bars across the five bouroughs that have any types of shellfish are fair game. From lobsters and shrimp to clams and mussels.
I'll cover the quality of the shellfish selection - variety, freshness and cleanliness (after all, shucking is somewhat of an art). And, not to be missed, I'll also include details on the establishment such as ambiance, location, hours, prices and specials as well as employee knowledge (is someone just reading a chalkboard to you or do they know key details about the selection?).
Got any favorites, a neighborhood gem? Or horrible villainous place that should be exposed for the awful locale it is? Share it with me and I'll cover it.
Just looking at this photo I took at Hog's Island in San Francisco's Ferry Building is making me crazy thinking about my next oyster. I can't wait for my fix tomorrow.
