Taste the freshness of the sea at these popular establishments offering a variety of these bivalves
National Oyster Day falls on August 5 but here in Singapore, we can celebrate it early thanks to Greenwood Fish Market bringing back its much-awaited World Oyster Festival this month for the ninth year running. That is not the only establishment to savour these treasures of the sea, as our tiny island boasts a number of oyster bars that source these molluscs from all over the world. Take your pick between db Bistro & Oyster Bar or Angie's Oyster Bar, but if you prefer to enjoy them at home, opt for the Oyster Mobile Bar which delivers them to your doorstep. Last but not least is Maison Marie, a grocer-bistrot that brings to the table fresh oysters that mostly come from France. Tuck into the freshly shucked ones or enjoy them topped with cheese and miso saikyo, then josper-grilled to a delicious finish.

1. Greenwood Fish Market
The seafood restaurant has been celebrating World Oyster Festival for nine years, and for this year’s edition (which runs from July 1 to 31), it is bringing in 26 varietals of live oysters sourced from around the world. New choices include Fat Bastard and Shigokus from the US, and both are famed for their clean taste, while Pink Moon from Canada is coveted for its salty notes and sweet finish.
“Tasting oysters side-by-side is eye-opening,” shared chef Alan Lee, so the molluscs are available à la carte and in tasting platters comprising eight varieties curated by Lee himself. The event runs from July 1 to 30 and the offerings are available for dine-in, takeaway and delivery.
