Bought Gulf oysters from Central Market last week at $0.79/oyster. Called two local seafood places for pricing and they were ~$1/oyster.

Anyone know of a place where to buy lower priced Gulf oysters for less in DFW. Lookin' to shuck them myself.

Thanks--kind of crazy can't get them for less than 67 cents per oyster whole. Especially when all the ones I've seen up here have been tiny.

Dave has good shite. Never had his oysters, but his crawfish are great size and flown in weekly. I imagine the oysters are similar.

Don't know the price off my head, but I would bet Fiesta Mart would have better prices than Central Market.

Apalachicola Bay Oysters have been overharvested as of like 2-3 years ago, so they have reduced their numbers being sold drastically. Like by 80% or so, so I'm not sure how that has affected the harvest in other areas but its raised the prices of all the oysters on the Gulf Coast. I would say that 80 cents an oyster in DFW is a very solid price right now, especially given its middle of summer so the demand is higher and the harvest is lower.

Got oysters at Dave's for ~$0.65. Great tasting and large relative to other Dallas places. Will definitely keep going there.
