Oysters on the half shell

Dare I admit that I LOVE raw oysters, that I consider but a half dozen no more satisfying than munching three potato chips or several small pretzels? The ancient problem of having "Champaign tastes on a beer budget" also apply to the topic of raw oysters when one resides a great distance from the oyster beds. If my monolog strikes a personal nerve with any of you oyster lovers out there, there is a solution! Just get your butt up to the Potawatomi Casino on the south side of Milwaukee on a Friday night for the seafood buffet. The spread of dishes certainly can't compete with a buffet like Todai at Woodfield, but Potawatomi does present all the freshly opened oysters your little (or big) tummy could desire. Give it a try.

Another source of all-you-can-eat oysters on a Friday night is the seafood buffet at Port Edwardin Algonquin.

Stevez,

Port Edward looks like a promising place. The 35 buck all-you-can-eat lobster would appeal to The Wife...do you know what the price is for the buffet (it doesn't seem to be indicated on their website menu)?

It's been a few years since I've been to the seafood buffet, but I think it used to be in the $35 price range. It could be different now, but it has always been a good deal pricewise and a great spread. You can't beat Port Edward for a good combo of atmosphere and chow. I generally stick with either lobster or crab legs when I go, so I can't vouch for their finned fish preperations, but they always look good when I see the plates coming by...and, as I said, the seafood buffet was a winner.

There's a Port Edwards menu with prices on www.restaurant.com . the zip code is 60102.

Kim, that is a very cool function of Restaurants.com. I couldn't find the seafood buffet pricing, but it's good to know that you can make it an even better deal with a Dining Certificate.
