Lefty’s Oyster & Seafood Bar is hosting a Nov. 19 event to spotlight Florida-grown shellfish and challenge the old advice to eat oysters only in months containing “R,” noting that refrigeration and state-required rapid chilling help keep harvests safe. Four Florida growers will share their work, with freshly harvested oysters served raw and grilled alongside Cedar Key clam dishes and wine pairings.
