Dawn Cassidy, of Dunedin, enjoys Bluff oysters at Best Cafe.
Server Danielle Jaskowski said her boss had travelled to Bluff to bring some back. Bluff oysters were available at Harbour Fish yesterday, too.
The pearly bivalves were selling for $34 per dozen (first grade) and $25.50 a dozen (second grade). The shop had sold 68 dozen by noon yesterday.
Harbour Fish employee Tiffany Peoples said of the oysters, ‘‘Once they’re in the shop, they fly out the door.’’
