Shreveport restaurants recognize national Oyster Day

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — August 5th is National Oyster Day, and while the Gulf Coast might come to mind first, Shreveport restaurants are offering their own flavorful nod to the beloved shellfish.

The Pearl Shreveport restaurant is leaning into the day with its normal deals. Every Tuesday, including this National Oyster Day, people can enjoy half-priced oysters, with eight per order, in raw or cooked char-grilled.

Meanwhile, Oyster Bar & Grille is sticking to its daily lunch special, available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Though there’s no one-day oyster discount, the restaurant’s regular menu continues to highlight seafood staples, including its popular oyster offerings.

Observed annually on August 5th, National Oyster Day celebrates the history, cultural significance and culinary versatility of oysters. Native Americans along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts have been harvesting oysters for centuries. Today, oysters remain a southern delicacy, whether served raw, char-grilled, or fried.

Whether you’re a fan of the classic half shell or prefer them with a charred twist, local restaurants are serving up something fresh in honor of the holiday.
