If you an oyster lover than you probably know the best thing to do is only eat wild caught ones in months with the letter “r” in them, from September to April. This is a practice that is believed to have been around for over 4,000 years! Thankfully, farmed oysters are available year-round for those who just can’t get enough of yummy bivalves. Whether you like oysters raw on the half shell, pickled, fried or cooked up in yummy chowder, the Puget Sound area is full of great places serving them up. Here are a few places to eat oysters in Olympia, throughout Thurston County, and the surrounding area.
