SHUCK YEAH Here’s where to find the best deals in Sydney for World Oyster Day

Apparently, today is World Oyster Day. It’s a holiday of questionable international significance, but one we will absolutely be observing.

So, whether you’re after a quick half-dozen or intend on single-handedly destabilising the local oyster population, we’ve rounded up the best oyster deals happening across Sydney today.

Hamsi Taverna

Hamsi Taverna has understood the assignment. For one day only, the Mediterranean seafood restaurant at Sydney Fish Market is serving its oysters for half price all day, starting from 11:30am. The offer is available until sold out, so perhaps don’t leave your World Oyster Day observance until 9:45pm.

• WHEN: Wednesday 5 August, from 11:30am until sold out
• WHERE: Hamsi Taverna, Sydney Fish Market
• HOW MUCH: Half-price oysters
• CHECK IT OUT HERE.

Morrison’s Oyster Bar and Grill

Morrison’s iconic oyster happy hour conveniently times with World Oyster Day tonight, so consider this your sign to take advantage if you haven’t already. They’re kind of the go-to place for happy hour oysters in town. And despite selling 6,000 oysters every week, they somehow still seem to be always booked out. Every Wednesday from 6pm to 7pm, you’ll be able to snag those little gems for $2 each, alongside $10 Aperol Spritzes and Negronis.

• WHEN: Wednesdays, 6-7pm
• WHERE: Morrison’s Oyster Bar and Grill, CBD
• HOW MUCH: $2 oysters
• CHECK IT OUT HERE.

Sky Bar at Shell House

Perched above the CBD skyline is none other than Sky Bar, which conveniently hosts their own Golden Hour from Tuesday to Saturday between 4pm and 6pm. As if the $2 oyster has become some sort of competition, they too are serving them up alongside $15 prawn sandwiches and Don Julio margs.

• WHEN: Tuesday to Saturday, 4-6pm
• WHERE: Sky Bar at Shell House, CBD
• HOW MUCH: $2 oysters
• CHECK IT OUT HERE.

Anason

Over in Barangaroo, Anason is similarly celebrating with half-price oysters for the entirety of Wednesday. The waterfront Turkish restaurant is serving the deal from 12pm, which feels like a reasonably sophisticated excuse to turn lunch into an afternoon-long event.

• WHEN: Wednesday 5 August, from 12pm
• WHERE: Anason, Barangaroo
• HOW MUCH: Half-price oysters
• CHECK IT OUT HERE.

Pier One

Once a bustling seafood market home to oyster shuckers, crab cookers and fishmongers, Pier One now slings $2 oysters and $12 cocktails from 5pm to 6pm every afternoon between Monday and Friday. The best part? The bar sits quite literally on the waterfront, making their Golden Hour specials that bit more, well, special.

• WHEN: Monday to Friday, 5-6pm
• WHERE: Pier One Sydney Harbour, CBD
• HOW MUCH: $2 oysters
• CHECK IT OUT HERE.

Jane

Jane’s Australiano Hour brings some serious elevation to the game, serving up $3 oysters, $11 Rhubi Spritzes and $16 lamb dumplings every day of the week. Best of all? It’s not restricted to one day, meaning you can score the special after today ends.

• WHEN: Monday to Wednesday: 5-6pm, Thursday to Sunday: 4-6pm
• WHERE: Jane, Surry Hills
• HOW MUCH: $3 oysters
• CHECK IT OUT HERE.
