Oysters in Cork

Anyone know where I can get nice oysters in Cork city or suburbs please? I've never tried them and my husband wants to bring me to a restaurant to experience them, it's part of my quite dull bucket list

Cheers

If its raw ingredients in City, English market is prob the best, if you're west cork, straight from Union Quay - Restaurants wise try fishy fishy in kinsale or Deasy's in Ring

O'Connells, English Market, You can have your oysters and white wine right there at the counter.

As it's a restaurant your looking for I'd head down to Novohal and eat in The Finders Inn, I highly recommend the place.
If you want to buy them yourself pop into a Ballycotton Seafood shop. they're in the English Market, Glanmire and Middleton.

I've never had an oyster myself. My family are all against them, even my mother who is and made me a big shellfish eater of everything else.

Love 'em! Bit of Tabasco and lemon juice, they go down lovely...

My record is 18. My friend & I sat down at Le Suquet (behind Harrod's) and downed 36 between us washed down with lots of champers!!:D

Didn't get to try them today as I couldn't get into the city! Will have to leave it until next week Really building this one up, I really hope I like them.

Tabasco and Lemon juice! Yum!

I'm on mobile, but does that site look as bad on a full browser? No line breaks, no distinction between dishes, no prices, and a bunch of random words on the front page?

Your right, The website is barely legible on a laptop let alone a smart phone. Done in a hurry methinks. Also lacks images which is off putting.

Checked it on my laptop and it's a lot better, but still impossible to read.

Whatever of the website the restaurant, Oysters, got a fine review in the Sunday Times today.
