As Cole Porter observed, “oysters down in Oyster Bay do it.” So, fall in love with them across Long Island. Here are three destinations to try:
Canterbury’s Oyster Bar & Grill in Oyster Bay sends out oysters “lobsterfella,” enriched with lobster sauce; oysters casino; oysters oreganata; even Buffalo-style with wing sauce and blue cheese. And on the half-shell, East and West Coast represented. Moderate

Catch Oyster Bar in Patchogue typically offers several Long Island varieties, including Peconic Gold and Fire Island. The house’s grilled oysters and oysters Rockefeller compete well. Moderate

Waterzooi in Garden City brings in oysters from Washington State, British Columbia, Cape Cod, and Long Island, among other locations. And, if you want more, the mussel pots and raw bar are winners, too. Moderate
