Photos of Oyster's Seafood Bar at Batroun Mina

Oyster's Seafood Bar is a family-owned seafood restaurant at Batroun's fishermen's port (Batroun Mina), near the Phoenician Wall. These are our own photos: the restaurant, our oysters and dishes, the fishermen, and Osalée, the sea salt our father makes. For daily photos and videos, follow us on Instagram.
