What's the going price for fresh oysters in your market?

RRP · November 2017

Seems like they have gone up another $2 to $20 a pint this year. We have a favorite Thanksgiving casserole side dish but $40 for that dish is making me gag! Is there some shortage this year that I missed the news about?

I know that sounds small, but did your income go up 10% from last year?

I swear they were just $15 a pint here 2 or 3 years ago.

I want to hear more about the casserole side dish. That sounds pretty good!

Interesting pricing - but how many pints is "50 Singles" for $22?

Don't forget when figuring your cost on the singles to add $250 for your Urgent Care deductible when you go to get the stitches you need after shucking those suckers.

Well, the cost of everything didn't go up 10%, which I guess would be a better comparison. It's a once or twice a year splurge. I'm guessing you spend that easily on a steak or two and probably have those more often. Just trying to understand if the $2 is what you were really getting all wrinkled about.

I shuck / eat them one at a time. Never put them in a pint.

This. 50 cents an oyster but exotic varieties(like puget sound ones) can be 1.00 per oyster. Pre-shucked adds to that cost, obviously. How many are you getting in your pint? I think the average around here is 20-30 oysters per pint so even 22 isn't a terrible deal, considering you're paying for the labor as well as the product.

its the same for cooked shucked maine lobster, price is low for whole lobster at 5.50 plus minus a pound, but get it cooked and picked and the price jumps near 40 dollars a pound, highest ive ever seen it

I am three miles from the Gulf of Mexico of course.

I usually pay ~$45 for a 5lb gallon. Beware that not all "gallons" are created equal....hence why I prefer to buy by the pound. They have certainly gone up each year, though.
