Hmm, I liked that these oysters were super affordable during happy hour, but they didn’t seem very fresh or tasty. They seemed like they could have been previously frozen which is never a good thing. Oh well, you win some you lose some.

These oysters tasted good, although they were not shucked very cleanly. Their mignonette also had a harsh flavor. It wasn’t my favorite so I ended up just using the lemon since I also don’t use cocktail sauce for fresh oysters.
