The Oyster Shooter is a popular seafood dish that originated in the United States. It typically consists of a raw oyster served in a shot glass with a flavorful cocktail sauce and sometimes a splash of vodka or other spirits. This unique creation is believed to have been first served in the Pacific Northwest, where fresh oysters are abundant.
