Neptune Oyster - North End Seafood

We finally tried Neptune Oyster in the North End before recent Celtics playoff game. They may not have a full website yet, but they do have a full list of oysters, clam and general raw bar treats. Their daily list may change, but they offer a lot of different oysters, etc from various parts of the country. I like cold North East oysters and I had a lot to choose from. We started with Wellfleet and sampled a few others from New England. They were clean, crisp and delicious. We added shrimp cocktail and Florida Stone Crab claws - Yum! The place is tiny but comfortable if you sit at the bar. They also promote local beer and wine so I was happy they had Westport Rivers available (great wine and sparkling from Massachusetts south coast). We did dinner. I had Sturgeon (never tried it before) and Rofle got Cioppino). Food was well presented, seasoned and extremely fresh. I can't wait to return. This is a great alternative to Italian when strolling around Haymarket or Salem Street.
