I'm not a big fan of river sewage coated oysters....

But then again that was from:

"Food critics and restaurant owners from Miami and New Orleans say Apalachicola Bay oysters are among the finest in the world, if not the finest."

Apalachicola Bay is considered one of the cleanest estuaries and most productive marine ecosystems in North America. The Apalachicola Bay oyster is a big part of the local economy and the bay produces 90% of Florida?s oysters and 10% of the nation?s supply.

River fed right? Ever see the movie Porkys? Need I say more?



Don't make me FedEX a couple of dozen down.

All this talk about oysters made me crave some right now. Too busy on a project at the moment, so I had to go with the smoked ones. Though not fresh on the half shell, they filled the bill for right now. I'll be headed to King's Fish House later today to fill that need to feed .. they have a half page dedicated to their varieties of fresh oysters on the half shell. Mmm-mmm good!

You have to try the NW Pacific. They are not dinky like those little "sand-n-mud" cousins from the east...you know, that taste like sand -n-mud from the east!

I've eaten at King's, Long Beach...good food!

I've had the NW Pacific oysters! I've been to Seattle a number of times. I've also had the Apalachicola oysters, too, from my Florida days. Definite different flavors. Hey, I'm going to the Long Beach King's Fish House tonight! Small world! Though, I prefer the Huntington Beach or even the Carlsbad locations more. I'll 'slurp' a couple of oysters for you!

Well, now I need those other ones Fed-Ex'd after all! LOL
