Oysters are good eats

[big dude]

I spent a little time in Washington and got hooked on the big pacific oysters available there - especially those from Willipa Bay. A local grocery had Willapoint (Willipa Bay) extra small and Pride Of Virginia selects (the bigger size). Half of the Willapoint's were larger than the selects and when I tried some raw, the Va ones hardly had any taste while the Willapoints were excellent. Dusted them all with flour, then egg wash, then Panko and seasoned with Old Bay, S & P. Pan fried in butter/oil. Great meal, but if you live inland like me and have to buy them in a container - the rest of the story is - try Willapoint.

Had raw oysters in New Orleans a few years back and they were awesome, had same in Buffalo last year and they sucked, had some in Fla a month ago and they were fantastic !

As AB says ...if you don't live within 45 minutes of the coast...It's not "Fresh".

John there was a special on PBS a year or so ago about a Chesapeake Bay waterman that did it that way on a boat he restored. Still did it all by hand.....

That's cool. Anybody who ever has the opportunity should take in the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels MD. It's a realy cool place, one where we like to take out-of-town guests.

(In addition, you can get some real good seafood, uh, bayfood while you're on the Bay. )
