A long ice bar loaded with such seafood goodies as snow-crab claws, chilled lobsters, littleneck clams and, of course, freshly shucked oysters is the main feature at this newly opened restaurant, run by the team behind the Salt Shaker Deli and the South Shore Fish Shack. The idea is hands-on seafood – yes, you'll get messy, but what fun!
