If you’re looking for the best spots to enjoy oysters around town, you have a lot of options — here are our recommendations.

Downtown

  • Amen Street Fish & Raw Bar | Sample four rotating varieties of local oysters, including Lowcountry Cups.
  • Leon’s Oyster Shop | If you’re over the raw scene, grab the fried oyster roll with avocado, comeback sauce, and chives or the world-famous char-grilled oysters.
  • The Ordinary | The crispy oyster slider with cabbage, Fresno mayo, on a fresh-baked Hawaiian roll is anything but ordinary.

Waterfront

  • The Obstinate Daughter | The raw oysters are a must-order; they’re served on the half shell with housemade hot sauce and champagne mignonette.
  • Tavern & Table | Odds are we’re ordering the seafood platter, complete with oysters — every time.
  • Charleston Crab House | Our mouths are watering just thinking about Grilled Oysters McClellanville, which feature garlic butter, bread crumbs, and Parmesan cheese.
