Oyster Bar at the South Melbourne Market - get literally market fresh oysters! Super refreshing and delicious with lemon and dozens of chilli sauces available on standing bar. Don't buy just one or half a dozen... get a dozen straight up because you'll end up buying more after tasting how fresh they are!
