Fish Point

As I was leaving the fromage de saison counter I spotted what might as well have been in neon lights, but in reality was merely in black text on a column near a seafood counter, what my lacking french ability still managed to translate in to «Happy Hour 6−8pm Oysters 1 euro!» My mind may have added the exclamation point on its own but regardless I was intrigued. As a turned the corner of the column to check out the bar the oysters others had ordered looked so good that I couldn’t resist.
I sat down and started with a glass of champagne and 6 oysters. The plump oysters were served with lemon wedges and a mignonette sauce which is THE absolute perfect accompaniments to the saltier that east coast US oysters (that seem to pair better with a horseradish-​ey cocktail sauce). Loosen the oyster from the shell add a squeeze of lemon and only a couple of drops of the mignonette and slurp those suckers down. The combo made me audibly «mmmmm».
So yeah the oysters are great but the fellas working at the counter are also energetic and friendly. They can help you if you only speak English but will appreciate any attempt that you make at French. After a few more glasses and a few more oysters I left full and frankly a little drunk. They do offer other seafood but after a certain hour (I assume when happy hour starts) they will only offer oysters. Normally 13 euro for 6 but at happy hour they are a steal at only a euro a piece. **I assume this only applies for weekdays.
