Whether you are looking for a locale with lovely ambiance or searching for the best happy hour deal, The Naples Florida Review has covered four fantastic restaurants to put on your list. Generally preferred by chefs, cold water oysters have a delicate and complex flavor thanks to a slow growth process that allows for rich mineral absorption. While these oysters tend to come in around $4/piece, daily happy hour deals will make them go down easier. Check out their list below and discover the next spot to indulge.

4. Sea Salt
Price: $24/half doz (prices vary, but are around $4.00-$4.25 each)
The ambiance and service at Sea Salt is top notch, and they reliably offer a good selection of cold water oysters from the east and west coasts. Importantly, the oysters are served ice cold and there are a options for accompanying options (horseradish, mignonette). I would recommend making a reservation in season, as the restaurant is located in the middle of the popular 3rd Street South. After your oysters, you can stroll along third and shop or sightsee.
3. Swan River
Price: $19/half doz
Swan River is an often-overlooked gem next to USS Nemo. They have a seafood market along with an attached restaurant. The market has some of the freshest seafood around and it is clean and efficient and doesn’t smell fishy. The restaurant is bright and open with a central bar and seating around the room. They have a good selection of raw cold water oysters that are fresh shucked, cold, and served up quickly. Pair with a cup of their excellent North/South Chowder and enjoy!
