It's ironic that National Oyster Day lands smack in the middle of summer, a season when oysters were not traditionally meant to be eaten. But isn't it wonderful to live in a world where safe and delicious oysters are available year-round? And in a city where $1 oysters are available every day of the week? We thought National Oyster Day was as good an excuse as any to update our list of where to find $1 oysters in L.A. Enjoy!
