It's Oyster Time....


Recommended Posts

It's September, so it should be safer to eat raw oysters again.

I want to eat some Virginica oysters at Union; Seattle Homes magazine has a well written article about oysters this month. Check out their online article here:

Seattle Homes - Pearls of Wisdom - Know Your Oysters

Try to read the actual magazine if you can, it has a really nice layout of recipes and such. Above article includes the mignonette recipe, regular and frozen. Love the frozen version at Elliott's.

Do you happen to know if there are any Oyster Festivals coming up in Seattle?

Thanks!

Okay, so it's not IN Seattle, but this weekend is the 25th Anniversary of the Oyster Festival just outside of Shelton. Seems like the year before last that the festival got started in a muddy field (it poured rain all weekend the first year). Even though the event has gotten a lot bigger, it's still fun, especially the oyster shucking contests. This weekend should be sunny and gorgeous - hope you have a chance to get down there.

Greg and I went to the Oyster Festival today. Quite fun! Music, Beer, Seafood all over the place. They even had a seafood "cook off" which looked interesting. We'll definately go back next year.
