The annual March Oyster Festival is on now at most Anthony’s restaurants around the Pacific Northwest, including Anthony’s at Spokane Falls.

Oysters – seared, on the half-shell, baked, fried – are the special through the end of the month, along with featured wine pairings. Special lunch menu items include oyster tacos and an oyster burger, while dinner options include a steak and crispy oyster entrée. Plus, oyster happy hour is available all day at the bar, with oyster specials starting at $7.

If you’re competitive – and enjoy raw oysters – sign up for the Friday Night Oyster Slurp contest each Friday at 6 p.m. in the lounge. Slurp nine freshly shucked oysters without the use of your hands and win prizes. Weekly medal winners will compete March 31 to determine the Champion Slurper.

Anthony’s opened its own seafood company in Seattle in 1985. Anthony’s at Spokane Falls is at 510 N. Lincoln St. On the web: www.anthonys.com.
