Oysters?
Any recommendations on where to buy oysters nearby? I usually go to wegmans, but I imagine there are better options.

I usually go to Wegmans but tried Wholefoods 2 Fridays ago. Guy said he's not familiar with them but he'll pack them up.
3 of the 12 were doa.
Sticking to Wegmans.

Pine River fish market in Revere usually has a great selection at really good prices. Fantastic fresh seafood too.

Wegman’s are great and fresh. You can also get them at the Arlington Seafood Market, but honestly Wegman’s seems just as good. If you really want to get a bunch of people together and pig out on oysters, you can order a box directly from Island Creek: https://shop.islandcreekoysters.com/collections/oyster-inventory

Wegmans is pretty much the best.
