Fish Shack downtown also has buck a shuck but never been.
I been to Oyster Express in Chinatown on Keefer and it was okay. They do have a buck a shuck as well according to their website TUE 4:30-9:30 / WED, THU, SUN 4:30-6:30
Rodneys low tide special is good too, kinda pricey during regular hours
Joe Fortes is bomb too but also gets pricey. I dont think they have any specials for oysters
theres also Merchant on Commercial dr

IIRC they have happy hour still between 4-6 M-F at Joe Forte's. It's not buck a shuck, but it's cheaper than menu pricing. I'm never in downtown during that time, but when I'm craving raw oysters it's usually Joe Fortes. I've heard really good things about Rodney's. Only slightly cheaper places I've tried are Black and Blue (during brunch) and The Boathouse. The latter used to have a happy hour but not sure if they still do. Both places were still good, and I'll get them if I happen to find myself in the restaurant.
Perhaps it's just perception, but I'd never go to an Asian place for cheap oysters, save for Ebisu which I've tried/had. Through the years I've gotten away from the buck a shuck stuff because I've grown attached to Kusshi oysters, which are never offered during those times. I've found over the years that I'm not a huge fan of the bigger oysters anymore (that tend to be offered for cheap). But different strokes!
