Live oyster in NWA? Where do you buy your meat-rocks?

I'm looking for a good fishmonger in the area, one that keeps fresh oysters in stock. Got a recommendation?

Blu Fish House in Bentonville is going to be the freshest seafood in the state. They have a market but I can't find a selection online - might need to call. Their restaurant is fantastic too

This is the best answer. Freshest seafood you're going to find

couple months ago I went over there and bought a pound of sushi grade tuna and just... ate the whole thing.

That sounds amazing. Their sushi there is some of if not the best I've ever had.

That's the only time i've been there, but i'm sure they have good sush.

How’d you prepare it? I’ve made some bomb pokè with their tuna.

I didn’t prepare it. I just ate it.

Second this. I’m actually working on the construction project adjacent to Blu.. always curious seeing it so I finally took my wife there for Valentine’s Day. She’s from around Ocean City, Maryland and she was very happy with the quality.

We got oysters to chargrill from Richard’s Meat Market. They were great.

After a couple days looking, Rick's looks like the choice for this Fayettevillain.

Powerhouse used to shuck at the bar to order. Was kinda cool.

I used to go there for that too, and it was fun to go out for beers and oysters, but I also want to be able to buy a sack and throw a party of my own once in a while.

I can't recommend powerhouse anymore. That place has seriously gone downhill over the years. Oysters are still good there but everything else is really disappointing.

Fish City Grill is a good in house spot to have a drink and they have multiple size options when it comes to oysters, shucked to order as well. Ashley is the best bartender
