Never mind the naysayers. Even if you don’t believe in the alleged libido-boosting abilities of oysters, we can call agree that they’re pretty tasty.
From June 23 to July 27 at Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro, you’ll be able to slurp down 21 different varieties of the mollusc from France, Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand.
