Long Island waterways once supplied much of the nation’s oysters and clams, so it’s no wonder that locals have a love for oysters on the half shell and strong opinions when it comes to the question of what is the best oyster bar on Long Island?
Long Islanders voted Waterzooi the Best Oyster Bar on Long Island in the 2023 Bethpage Best of Long Island contest!
