| - My fiancé and I went to Oyster Boy last night (Sunday Feb 15th 2015) and we had an amazing time. We got there around 7pm and luckily managed to secure two seat at the bar. It was our first time there, and the restaurant was packed! We were very happy to be at the bar though, and enjoyed watching the man that shucks the oysters. He was so funny, nice, and super informative. As soon as we were ordering, we explained we had never had raw oysters, only baked Rockefeller oysters once. And our server, was super sweet & also informative lady with short blonde hair. She brought us two smaller St simon oysters to start, while our Rockefeller, Rustico, & Royale oysters we're baking. They were all delicious!!! So we kept doing six raw, then six baked, a few times, and the oyster shucker guy kept coming over and telling us all about the oysters, what they fed on, What breeds they were etc. it was such a good time! We tried many varieties of raw,
Valentine's
Black pearls
Kusshi
St simon
Caraquette
Wiley point
Our favorites were absolutely the Valentine's, St Simon, & Wiley Point.
We also ordered the crab cakes, the cakes themselves are really nice, loads of crab & not a lot of filler like most, good crispy coating. However I like a creamy sauce, not so much the sweet onion chutney. But that wouldn't stop me from going again! Next time we want to try the crab dip that everyone seemed to rave about as well. The owner, (I'm guessing) was who seated us, & greater everyone at the door, was also super nice and friendly. By the end of our visit he had overheard we had just gotten engaged Friday the 13th of February & he gave us both a free toque with the logo on it! And on a -24c night, we were so grateful!
We can not wait to go back for an ice cold Sapporo & a ton of raw & baked oysters. Looking forward to trying the fried oysters & crab dip.
