National Oyster Day
August 5, 2024
This special day is National Oyster Day, a holiday dedicated to celebrating these bivalve mollusks. Whether you regularly order oysters or only treat yourself to this delicious seafood on occasion, be sure that you make a point of ordering a great oyster dish on Sunday.
Origin: The exact origins of National Oyster Day are unknown. However, the holiday has been celebrated for centuries, dating back to Ancient Roman times when oysters were a luxury for the wealthy. In the 19th century, New York harbor was the world’s largest producer of oysters, and the city’s restaurant trade is largely due to oysters.
