Is $14.95 for 6 Asian Oysters at Zea Unreasonable?

Hey, I know food prices are up. And, I'd rather see price increases on a menu than the item disappear, or the quality suffer. But each of us have a 'price point' in our mind to where we feel like an establishment is taking unfair advantage of us.
For me, $15 for 6 fired oysters with sauce and a bit of cabbage turns me off from even wanting to go to the restaurant.
Opinions? I know you have 'em.

What are asian oysters?
To answer the question, I'd never pay that, especially in Louisiana.

Fried oysters with Asian sauce from a bottle poured on them.

I'm sure, but from a place like Zea?

I thought they were like Chinese crawfish or something.

I had them and thought the same thing - over priced and too little - should be an appetizer not an entree item.

That's an entree??

It is listed as an appetizer.

I had those Asian zing fried shrimp yesterday there and they are $7 for an order of 3. But they are so good

Customers rely on their experiences at other restaurants to determine what is a fair value.The price is "unreasonable" if it is higher than what other similar restaurants are charging for the same or similar menu item.

It was an entree when it was a special - may have changed it due to the obvious.
The shrimp app is awesome!

Certainly oyster prices are high (what isn't??) but anything over $2 bucks per oyster is certainly excessive.

I've had those on a poboy and it was the only poboy I've ever thought was anything special. Very good sandwhich, but don't think I'd pay $15. The poboy I had was at Poboy Fest and it was like $6 and came with 4 or 5 oysters.

For those saying food prices are up, when were they ever stable or low? I feel like food has been rising steadily for decades....

Oysters at Peche on my last visit were $4 per oyster, pre tax/tip...and mighty delicious.
