Amazing Oysters

by WillBurg

Before I went to Shaffer, I thought oyster is just Oyster, only one kind. However I never know there are so many different kinds of oysters from both the Atlantic and the Pacific. The oyster is $3 each, a little bit expensive, but the quality is really good. You never need to worry about any diarrhea problem, after you eat it. Well during their happy hours oysters are only $1.50 each, therefore I definitely will go back again with couple of my friends during that time.

Pros: excellent quality of oysters, and seafood
Cons: price, $3 per each oyster
