Be sure you drive carefully on the way home as you really don’t want to lose any of that precious liquor. Another option is to self-shuck. (Please promise to acquire a proper shucking knife such as the one from OXO. A reinforced glove for the non-knife hand is also a good idea.) Groomer’s Seafood offers generic East Coast oysters at $1.75 each; Gulf Blue Bands come at $12.95 a dozen. At Central Market, there are Connecticut Blue points at $1.49 each, while the Gulf variety sells for $.89. You will now want some wine, still or sparkling, to go with.
