John that is a restaurant I will have to visit when in Boston. Thanks for adding to thread.

I've enjoyed many fine meals at the Union Oyster House. A must go if you are ever in Boston.

The basics from Allen Bacon, of Atwood and Bacon's Oyster Restaurant in Boston, in the Boston Traveller, July 7, 1865:
View attachment 199644 The Atwood & Bacon establishment is currently known as the Union Oyster House. Located very near Faneuil Hall, it is a designated National Historic Landmark, as the oldest continuously operated restaurant in the country.
The building dates back at least to 1742, and had an intriguing colonial and Revolutionary history, but became an oyster restaurant in 1826, and has had only three owners since. From Daniel Webster (who daily drank a tall tumbler of brandy and water with each half-dozen oysters, seldom having less than six plates)' to John F. Kennedy (who entertained in a favorite booth, still preserved in his honor, in the upstairs private dining-room), everybody who was anybody in Boston dined there, as well as famous visitors from around the world, including political figures, writers, actors, musicians, and artists.

Notice also from Boston Herald, March 26, 1858:

I know where that is, having just been to Boston last month. And though I love Boston, I won't even eat Bostonian oysters.

I understand. I don't eat oysters either. I might try fried, but don't even ask me to go raw!

But, their broiled scrod or their pan seared scallops are to die for! And you can top it off with the best apple cobbler you've ever had.

Their broiled scrod is a bucket list food item to die for.the absolute best in the world.

I'll put that on my list for the next time we are in Boston!

I do like oysters but not raw. Fried is good but I like mine best grilled in the shell with some garlic, butter and maybe a little hot sauce. Last year I had some like that done up at a local fundraiser and they had real horseradish sauce that was excellent with them (a bit of a surprise). Portland, OR has an oyster house that's been there a long time and does a good job. The wife won't get near an oyster so we don't generally go there when in Portland but I'd make a bee line if I was by myself.

Those look delicious! I've never had fried oysters, but if you fry anything I'd probably eat it.
