Joe Fortes Seafood & Chop House

Excellent service and a fun buzz in this busy room - and if it's summer then Joe's roof is the ideal place to lose a few hours. Daily Buck-a-shuck as well as 50% off bar items and $5 wine from 4-6 pm everyday (yes, including weekends) make this a solid choice.

Rodney's Oyster House

Hmm, Yaletown Rodney's or Gastown Rodney's? A quick strawpoll suggests the shuckers at Yaletown are 'more fun', so head there for 'low tide' buck-a-shuck deals from 3-6p.m. Monday-Saturday.
