I work in a seafood restaurant in New Braunfels and we carry oysters from Texas and from the northeast and Canada. During the hot summer months (non-Gulf oyster season) we strictly carry northeast and Canadian oysters, which are smaller and more expensive. Despite being smaller, they do have great flavor, and of course they are more expensive. You aren't just paying for flavor, you're also paying for the fuel. Well, our guests are ready for us to have the Gulf oysters back as an option, but it's likely they won't be coming back this year. In addition to the drought's effects on Gulf oysters, the Hurricane Irene also affected the market in the northeast, driving up prices even more. Check out this article for more information on the oyster season here in Texas.
