I get it. If you haven&#8217;t tried oysters yet, I know the common stigma to raw seafood is that the texture is \u201cgross\u201d and most people can\u2019t get past that slimy feeling.<\/p>\n<p>I was a little afraid too. But wait\u2014I have good news, and I&#8217;m here to convince you that just trying one oyster is worth the plunge.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that my favorite three places in Columbus with bangin\u2019 deals on oysters (both raw and baked!) also have huge menus with a ton of other options. What am I suggesting here? The next time you find yourself at one of these restaurants during their oyster happy hour, I beg you to try just ONE. You know how much that\u2019ll set you back?<\/p>\n<p>A dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Tell me the last time you could try something new for a buck.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be waiting.<\/p>\n<h2><u>#1: The Market Italian Village<\/u><\/h2>\n<p>Although you may know The Market IV for their 5 for $5 wine tastings or their legendary brunch (we\u2019re talking grilled peaches on top of pancakes, here people) they pack another punch with their summer oyster deals! Hosted by Miller lite, you can sip a longneck while enjoying your oysters, both just $1 each. If you happen to pop in to their summer-friendly 4<sup>th<\/sup> street location on a Thursday, treat yourself to a taste or even an entire platter. The servers are more than happy to let you know where the shells are from and what they taste like.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"483\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.crave-columbus.com\/index.php\/2017\/08\/03\/oysters-columbus-restaurants\/market-iv1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.crave-columbus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Market-IV1.jpg?fit=750%2C891&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,891\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"The Market Italian Village\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.crave-columbus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Market-IV1.jpg?fit=750%2C891&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-483 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.crave-columbus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Market-IV1.jpg?resize=750%2C891&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Try Oysters at The Market Italian Village\" width=\"750\" height=\"891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.crave-columbus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Market-IV1.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.crave-columbus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Market-IV1.jpg?resize=253%2C300&amp;ssl=1 253w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019re at it, order the batata harra.
