raw bars
Oyster serving stations
Raw bars are establishments or sections of restaurants specializing in raw seafood served on ice—oysters, clams, shrimp, and crudo.
The term also refers to the actual counters where such items are displayed and shucked: We grabbed seats at the raw bar and ordered a dozen oysters.
At upscale events, a raw bar is a catered station offering the same fare.
