National Oyster Day

EAT OYSTERS AND LOCAL SEAFOOD DURING NATIONAL OYSTER WEEKEND, AUG. 5-7!

Visit Shell Recycling Alliance restaurants and slurp to your seafood loving heart’s content!

Oysters clean Chesapeake Bay waters and provide habitat for other (delicious!) species like blue crabs, rockfish, and white perch. Did you know that eating oysters and recycling their shells leads to more oysters returned to the Bay? One reclaimed shell becomes a home for 10X as many babies! ORP, the nonprofit expert in Chesapeake Bay oyster restoration, relies on Shell Recycling Alliance restaurants to provide shell critical for oyster restoration efforts.

Say thank you to these Bay-friendly businesses by patronizing them this National Oyster Weekend! See a list of participating restaurants – and the oyster specials and promotions they’ll be offering – below.
