Raw Thursdays: $1.25 Oysters in Southern Michigan

Every Thursday, Raw Thursdays brings one of southern Michigan’s best oyster deals to The Deck Down Under. Chesapeake Bay oysters are only $1.25 per shell on Raw Thursdays, with oysters available raw, steamed, fried, or prepared in chef-driven styles depending on availability.

This is the same oyster program behind our Michigan Oyster Experts page. We shuck nearly 50,000 oysters annually, which makes Raw Thursdays more than a gimmick. It is a real seafood feature built around volume, freshness, and experience.
