Even though you can get well-priced oysters at the Morrison year-round, they really ramp things during their Oyster Festival throughout August. The CBD bar shucks a cool 17,000 oysters each week, with a $1.50 oyster hour each day from 6pm-7pm. Feeling extra hungry? Level up with bottomless bubbles and oysters for just $55 on Saturdays and Sundays per person, all day long.

Riley St Garage makes a fancy starter a lot more affordable with $2.50 oysters Wednesday to Friday from 5-6pm. You have to order a minimum half-dozen, but $15 for six oysters in Sydney is still a steal. Try their signature smoky dressing for something different, or keep it simple with a classic mignonette or au naturale.
