Doc Magrogan's - Philadelphia, PA

DocM has an excellent happy hour with small plate specials and $1 oysters till midnight! I saw Hunger Games the other day, and I needed to get some oysters after seeing Peeta open one up in the movie. Although there were no pearls in these shucks, I saved a fortune on the $1 deal! My favorite was the Malpeque oysters, which had a crisp taste with a clean finish. If you're looking for something a bit saltier, the Sewanscott was equally as excellent with full flavors, slight brine, and a hint of sweetness.

Of course, happy hour isn't complete without some small plates. The favorite here was the crispy fresh calamari. These bad boys are topped with cherry & banana peppers, spicy aioli, and garlic-parsley butter. To even touch this plate, make sure you get a seat at our near the bar as they only serve it in the front.

Oyster crackers are always a nice addition to an oyster-filled meal!

Remember that friend from my Rouge post who loves mac&cheese? Well, these wings are a shoutout to that same friend! She loves wings, so I decided to give these a try. I was not disappointed with the sweet minced garlic & soy butter sauce!

My friend who ate with me is a huge enabler, and when you put us together, there are basically no limits. Today, our enabler personalities pushed us to order a pound of lobster for only $12! It was a decision we definitely did not regret after filling our stomachs with this sea fiend.

I will definitely be coming back here for more happy hour specials as they provide an excellent meal after a long day of classes.
