"If I died at Swan's counter, I will die a happy man." - Anthony Bourdain

Swan Oyster Depot is the go-to spot for your oyster, Boston clam chowder and sashimi fix. To cut the long wait, order take out instead! I saw a bunch of locals who obviously knew that take out is the way to go.  

Swan is very old school-  they use a 60s style cash register that looks like it belongs to a museum- so come prepared with cash. As a food blogger and oyster lover, it is such a pity that it has taken me more than 10 years to come visit this historic eatery  (I know, I know)! Most importantly, this place is for seafood lovers only. If your dining comrades don't fall under that category, then you're better off at a different restaurant. 

Tip: Besides the oysters, the other must try is the sashimi plate. 

Enough said.
