Been wanting to try out Fives in the quarter. Heard good reviews from a few folks who live down there.
Just blows my mind that they are really charging $5 AN OYSTER for Gulf oysters.

No way. We here in SW LA are getting great oysters for $20 or less per dozen, raw. Less if you buy them by the bag and shuck them yourself. But we also are getting 16-20 count shrimp heads on from boat for less than $4.25 a pound.

Probably farmed oysters grown off the bottom.

Same here. Restaurant markup is huge.Im speaking of farm raised oysters on the Gulf Coast. Most restaurants are buying these oysters between .85 cents to $1 per oyster locally. Farmers are selling at .35 cents to .60 cents per oyster. Your average wholesaler chargers .22 cents to wash, box and ship. Some wholesalers do sell to another supplier then sold again which can increase cost.
