Looking for a good shucking? Oyster Season is here! Running from September to April (remember the ‘R’ months?), it’s time to indulge—the world is your oyster.

First things first, if you’re after a shuck worth your buck, choose a Good Companion. Or, The Good Companion, Amsterdam, rather. Their Oyster “Happy Hour” means indulgence doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Every Saturday, from 1pm-5pm, indulge in their house oysters for just €1.50!!! Or get a dozen for an other-worldly bargain of just €18! 

Now, whether you’re after classics or more inspired creations, these spots are serving the best oysters in town:
