Even though delicious oysters can be enjoyed year-round, we’re now in what is traditionally considered prime oyster season. In honor of the occasion, Legal Sea Foods has rolled out its eighth annual Oyster Festival, which continues September 27 with the Sip, Slurp & Sup prix-fixe dinner at the Park Square location. Also enjoy the shellfish-themed party Mollusk Mania October 2 at the Seaport District’s Legal Harborside. Throughout the celebration, which continues until October 12, Legal Sea Foods locations feature special dishes and drinks, including official Oyster Festival cocktail the Deadrise, a blend of vodka, cucumber, lime and grapefruit bitters.
