National Oyster Day arrives every August 5, honoring the briny bivalves that have delighted palates for centuries. Whether you prefer them raw, fried, or in a stew, this day is a perfect excuse to indulge. Explore local seafood markets, try a new oyster bar, or host your own shucking party to join the celebration.
