When we think of oysters and Champagne, we think of decadence. That’s because in restaurants, each half-shell goes for approximately $3 and the bottle of Moet will set you back at least $60. Thankfully, Mushy Pony has not only found a way for you to enjoy this meal for a fraction of the price, but we’ve also found out how to shuck the shit out of them too.

When shopping for the perfect lobster, we found that heading to Bill’s Lobster and Fish Market on Gerrard East (or the St. Lawrence Market) helped save a few bucks – at roughly $10/lb, who could complain?
