Mike R said:and now if your really want to get sick...I often trade a tuna loin or a 20 pound striper for an onion sack full of Wellfleet Oysters
Rivertrash said:I was being sarcastic. $2 apiece sounds like Oceanaire or McCormick & Schmicks. Probably the best-known seafood restaurant in Texas is Gaido's in Galveston. Their current menu offers oysters on the half-shell for $8 for 6 and $12 for 12.

Rivertrash said:Willie G's is good. I used to go to the one on Post Oak in Houston and loved it. As a matter of fact, the Landrys do a good job with all their restaurants. Very consistent and reasonably priced.
Rivertrash said:I agree, Cassidain. I love them all, but have gotten afraid of the Gulf oysters raw because of the hepatitis risk. I do love the cold-water varieties and I'm not afraid of them. May not make sense, but . . .
