$1 an oyster is a bargain in a restaurant, but not a dangerously unrealistic one. Basically, they're shucking them for free or close to it.
@Martita They'll make it up with the extra booze they'll sell as people slurp away (and pile on the hot sauce).
I sometimes forget not everyone lives in the Gulf Coast. At the height of the season around here (mid-winter) they get down to about a quarter an oyster some places.
