The Oyster Bar at 15 State of Mind St. will no longer shuck East and West coast oysters in Bluffton.

The raw bar, which opened in April of this year, closed Dec. 9, according to a post on the restaurant’s Facebook.

Owner Jimmy Soules said in September he had partnered with Fujiyama owner, Kevin Chen, in Bluffton to start serving sushi and sashimi at the beginning of October. He said the partnership was an effort to offer “a true raw bar.”
