For some of the freshest oysters, shellfish and smoked fish in the city, it’s worth making the trek out to Lawrence and Warden to visit Diana’s Seafood. Although it may seem unlikely that some of the best oysters and seafood in the city can be found in Scarborough (spoken like a true downtowner), Diana’s Seafood has been supplying some of the city’s top restaurants for years. The original seafood shop has been open for over two decades, and you can drop in and pick up a box of oysters there at the wholesale price — you just need to know how to shuck ’em! And if you don’t, you can start by buying an oyster knife there too. But if you’re looking for a quick taste, Diana’s opened the adjacent Oyster Bar & Grill where customers can order from a dozen varieties of oysters, which are shucked to order, complete with a side of hand-grated horseradish.
