Instead of trying other oysters on the menu, we decided to give the local scallop ($5.50\/each) a try. Each  scallop was served raw on a beautiful shell, and was a little smaller than I expected. It was amazing but tasted very fresh.<\/p>\n<p>We also ordered a bottle of white wine for only $30. The final bill for 2 dozen oysters, 3 scallops, and the wine was around $90 for 3 of us. Not bad at all!<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_2080.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_2080.jpg\" alt=\"Denman Island Oysters @ Oyster Express\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Denman Island Oysters @ Oyster-Express<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_2079.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_2079.jpg\" alt=\"Raw Scallop @ Oyster Express\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raw Scallop @ Oyster-Express<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_2078.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_2078.jpg\" alt=\"Raw Scallop @ Oyster Express\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raw Scallop @ Oyster-Express<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_2077.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_2077.jpg\" alt=\"Oyster Express Vancouver\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oyster Express, Vancouver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Official website:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.oysterexpress.ca\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oysterexpress.ca\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.oysterexpress.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Map and other reviews:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/14\/1678308\/restaurant\/Chinatown\/Oyster-Express-Vancouver\"><img style=\"border: none; width: 200px; height: 146px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/1678308\/biglink.gif\" alt=\"Oyster Express on Urbanspoon\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oyster Express is a little hidden gem located at the edge of Chinatown.
