Shortly after Caroline and her husband arrived today, a lady from further down the beach made an invitation to come down to their rig for oysters at 4:00. They had bought a gigantic gunny sack of them and the whole beach was invited! Just bring a beverage, a chair, and something to eat out of.<\/p>\n
What a fun time! I’m pretty sure we were all there and between everyone there was quite a bit of food. The oysters were offered raw, grilled, or deep fried. I have decided that while I don’t not like them, oysters don’t do much for me and are very over rated.<\/p>\n
I don’t have a problem eating raw seafood, so I think I can get away with saying that raw oysters are slimy and unpleasant without sounding like I have a closed mind about such things. Without lemon juice or a little hot sauce, I don’t know how people get them down their gullet. Their texture is slightly improved by grilling. Just about anything is palatable with a crunchy coating and bath in hot oil. My favorite part about the whole oyster thing was washing them, then learning how to shuck them!<\/p>\n
It was nice to chat with everyone and get to know the neighbours by name, not that I’ll remember all of those names (the beach is packed<\/em>). I wish I was better stocked for impromptu potlucks though so that I could have contributed to the spread.<\/p>\n After, Caroline and her husband invited me into their trailer for a chat. We should be neighbours for at least a few days. Caroline has been following my blog since the very beginning and we are pleased that our paths have finally crossed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shortly after Caroline and her husband arrived today, a lady from further down the beach made an invitation to come down to their rig for oysters at 4:00.
