12 places to slurp buck-a-shuck oysters on the South Shore
Eating seafood oceanside is often thought of as a summer activity. But surprisingly to this Texan, oyster season is in full swing.
From October to February or March is the prime time for fresh local oysters. As the water gets colder, it makes a perfect environment for harvesting them.
Plenty of South Shore restaurants are serving oysters. Here is a list of buck-a-shuck restaurants in the area.
