The best place to eat oysters in Tampa Bay is at City Editor Bailey’s house. But luckily, there’s ample incredible TBAY spots to celebrate National Oyster Day this Saturday, Aug. 5 — whether you like ‘em served raw, Rockefeller, or grilled.

Trophy Fish, the uber fresh seafood joint, serves Gulf Oysters with a roasted-kale chimichurri sauce and stuffed with chorizo parmesan breadcrumbs. Plus, the laid-back restaurant has locations in both Tampa + St. Pete.

Finish off a night at the Tampa Riverwalk with a dozen charbroiled oysters or oyster cabbage boats at Ulele. Pro tip: Pair the app with one of their spring brewery beers.

Take in a sunset over the St. Pete Pier while chowing down on Doc Ford’s baked oysters marinated with their legendary Yucatan Sauce + topped with creamy Manchego cheese.

What’s your favorite spot to grab a dozen? Let us know and we may just put your suggestion in the newsletter.
