Just returned from Normandy, and require an infusion of oysters...lots & lots of oysters. Anywhere semi-affordable to fulfill our need?

Go to La Mer and purchase a variety of oysters and a couple of oyster knives? That's pretty cheap.

Otherwise, there's Lawrence. Even cheaper but less flexible. They offer oysters at $1 dollar each from 5:30 to 7pm. They usually have one or two kinds of oysters to offer. So cheap but not a lot of variety. Check their FB page for the daily menu: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lawren...

I've also recently mentioned that the fish store at JTM has a raw bar with a decent selection of oysters. I wouldn't recommend their other offerings (except the lobster) e.g., calamari, fried fish and french fries because they do not know how to work the fryer.

There is actually now an oyster bar at JTM called la boite aux huitres (oysterbox), they usually offer a buck a shuck over the weekend and have a good variety of oysters -- Also they are knowledgeable and able to help you pick out oysters according to your tastes which is nice :)

I am definitely there slurping down oysters every Saturday :D

Oh boy, the French version of the site is a cornucopia of bad literal translations. It's almost as bad as the Ettinger's site.

Does La Mer have Jumbo Shrimp for sale?
