Ocean City Oysters · Ocean City, Maryland

Raw bar etiquette at Ocean City restaurants?

Answer

Order by the half-dozen or dozen with cocktail sauce, horseradish, and lemon on the side—slurp from the wide end after loosening with a fork. Happy-hour raw bars pop up at waterfront spots in summer; arrive early for best selection. Ask whether oysters are local Coastal Bays, Chesapeake, or Gulf sourced.
