Oysters at the Blue Water Grill in Union Square

Rounding out my oyster eating in NYC, I finished up yesterday with a quick lunch at The Blue Water Grill in Union Square — a popular seafood destination. Certainly not the cozy historic feel that the other oyster bars had but good clean oysters nonetheless.

Here's the rundown:

(6) Mermaid Cove Oysters - Prince Edward Island

I paid probably on average $2.75 per oyster with the exception if the Belon Wild which were $3.95 each. They were wild oysters and they were rare so I splurged for the experience.

Next time up for the value I am hitting up The Lobster Place in Chelsea Market — a smaller selection of 5-6 oysters but they were all under $2.00 each. For an additional $.20 they will shuck them and you can sit down and toss them back right in the market.

You may have thought I was done with oysters for the week but as it turns out this weekend in Richmond the Shockoe on the Half Shell is going on downtown. Watch out!
