You can eat like a king for pauper prices if you know the right places to visit. Vancouver is blessed with bars and restaurants offering excellent $1 oyster deals every single day from brunch to late night. Across the city - and in no particular order - here is our pick of the best in town.
Got a pearl of a place to add? Think we missed out your favourite? Let us know in the comments or on the tipline.
There's a relaxed neighbourhood vibe at Merchants and every Sunday and Tuesday you can dig into $1 oysters to your heart's content. They also have $1.50 specials most other days of the week and a buck-a-shuck brunch from 1030a.m.-2.30p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Tucked away in Chinatown and boasting a great rep for cheerful service, OX's Buck-a-Shucks are as plentiful as their oyster variety. Tuesdays 3-10p.m. Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday 3-6p.m.
The mostly male team of shuckers at Chewies know exactly what they're doing; steamed, stewed or nude. Go neighbourhood-style at the original in Kitsilano (2201 West 1st) or their new Coal Harbour location for the Monday-Friday Buck-a-shuck deals from 3-6p.m.
A gloriously over-the-top circular raw bar in a showy 'let's get dressed up' room, COAST offer buck-a-shuck every day from 3-6p.m. The perfect cheap-but-sexy date venue.
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.
Hook it and cook it is the motto here, or in the case of the oyster, just plain shuck it. Daily buck-a-shuck from opening (Mon – Friday 11:30am, Saturday & Sunday 10:30am) till 6p.m.
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.
Worth checking the website for some absolutely excellent deals at all Ebisu locations but the best oyster deals are to be found at the Broadway branch; just 99c for Royal Miyagi when you order 6 or more from 8.30p.m. till last call seven days a week.
