D&K Live Seafood

Forget the white tablecloths—this cult Footscray seafood market is where serious bivalve chasers get their fix. Past the tanks of live catch and boujee pantry staples sits a fiercely authentic, shuck-to-order oyster bar. Seafood purists make a beeline for the staggering regional merroir on display—think sharp, briny South Australian drops contrasting with impossibly creamy Tasmanian beauties. Pull up a stool at the basic outdoor tables and knock back a freshly opened dozen. It’s raw, unapologetically casual, and oyster geeks agree it delivers some of the most spectacular-value slurping in the west.
