"The oysters at this relaxed seafood mini-chain once made us compare an unsuspecting Carlingford to Ryan Gosling’s fictional unicorn milk-spiked tears. We make no apologies. If you consider yourself a bit of an oyster freak, try the cooked, butter-loaded rockefeller variety but we prefer the quintessential raw oysters from France, Ireland, and Scotland. There are locations in Borough Market and South Kensington, but our favourite is the Battersea restaurant for the excellent river views." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"Like that friend who reads your long rambling drafted texts in the midst of a break-up or every golden retriever ever, Wright Brothers is a restaurant that will always be there for you. It’s a mini-chain of reliable seafood spots, and while we love their Borough Market restaurant for its classic London charm, you can’t beat the riverside views at their Battersea spot. Book a table on the terrace, get a round of oysters in, then take a deep breath and order the whole Devon crab with fries and salad." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager

If you’re about that Big Seafood Energy you can also opt for their huge £60 grilled shellfish platter which includes oyster, tiger prawns, mussels, scallops, and importantly, that whole Devon lobster." - heidi lauth beasley
"Everyone keeps saying that Christmas will be different this year. Well, make hay whilst the, erm, snow falls and take this strange Christmas as an opportunity to switch up your standard festive dinner for something different. More specifically, something fishy. Seafood specialists The Wright Brothers are doing luxury festive hampers that range from a smoked salmon and oysters situation to a whole cooked lobster. But we’ve got our eyes on the festive platter of fruits de mer." - heidi lauth beasley
"What to get:Champagne and oysters (it’s a mood). Oysters in the park baby. Alright yes, you might get photographed by like, Buzzfeed for some piece on spoilt middle-class Londoners but that is the risk you take everytime you leave the house in Birkenstocks and a Toast linen workwear jacket. Get involved in a dozen fresh Jersey oysters from seafood specialist spot, Wright Brothers. If you’re looking to go big for a special occasion - and we mean big - they’ve also got caviar, martini kits, and champagne." - heidi lauth beasley
