There is no better place for mollusk lovers to be on National Oyster Day than at City Oyster in Delray Beach.

This shuck-ready cocktail oyster from Rustico, Prince Edward Island (PEI) offers a clean, crisp, salty yet sweet flavor.

These Maine-grown gems start off with a sweet and briny kiss and pair perfectly with a crisp Chardonnay or hoppy IPA.
