September marks the start of oyster season. While oysters can be enjoyed year round they’re best enjoyed during the cold months containing the letter “R”. Oyster season starts NOW!
Grill 'em
Fire up the grill one last time and add some oyster to mix it up. Grill them in their shells or on the half shell with some toppings, like herb butter. Get the recipe here

Treat your self to Oyster Happy Hour
Ok so you're not exactly rolling in the dough, but just because you're strapped for cash doesn't mean you can't enjoy these little molluscs. There are plenty of places to choose from that will have oysters on special, sometimes for just a dollar each!

Try an Oyster Stout
While it may not taste like an oyster (do you really want your beer tasting like oyster?) Flying Dog's Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout is made with whole oysters from Rappahonnock River in Virginia.
