It’s time to shellebrate the seasonal bounty of oysters.
Shortly after having shellebrated 25 years in business, Kingfisher is hosting their 9th Annual Oysterfest on Saturday, October 27.
From 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., Kingfisher’s Oysterfest tent in the front parking lot will house elite oyster shuckers prepping over a dozen different types of oysters from all over the country.
Those who prefer their mollusks cooked can choose from Guinness Oyster Stew, Oysters Rockefeller, Oysters Storyville, Fried Oysters, and more. Additionally, clam chowder aficionados can experience both popular variants — New England and Manhattan.
A limited lunch menu of Kingfisher favorites will be available as well.
Kingfisher is located at 2564 E. Grant Rd. For more information, visit kingfishertucson.com.
