Bought 30 pounds of oysters this morning.

Looks like I’ll be saying Aw Shucks all day.

1. Did you steal this from ducanpup?

[tavernier]

3. No, just came to me

But I can’t think of a more deserving person I’d rather steal wisdom… from. (I would arrange that sentence to be more grammatically correct, but shucks, I’m too busy at the moment)

2. Sweet!

Will you eat them all today? Freeze some?

[tavernier]

4. By the time my free loader friends finish with them

there won’t be much left but the shells.

[cilla4progress]

5. Niiiice!

You shuck 'em for them?

[tavernier]

7. No. I'll let the guys do it.

I love mine with sour cream and caviar.

We’ll be having all cold foods. I made a huge bowl of my world famous potato salad yesterday. It was tricky finding fresh dill but had to have it. I’m of Latvian heritage and we call dill Latvian crack.

Hope you all have a fun time tonight and a spectacular New Year coming!

9. Yum!!

13. Re: feeding all your friends

That's certainly un-shellfish of you.

6. I'll be having some here!

I’m in Maine, and I think the oysters are best in December. I’ve been testing the thesis with enthusiasm lately. My favorite source closes for three months, so I’ll be having imports until March.

Enjoy! Happy New Year!

8. Best ones I've had were in CapeCod where we used to vacation.

We can’t be so picky here in the Keys. We get wherever the seafood market ships from.

Thanks and the same to you!

10. Yes. I had some good ones in P-town this year.

What do you like on yours? I go with lemon and a dash of Frank’s hot sauce. But a restaurant in Provincetown, sadly destroyed in the storm last week, served them with a mignonette I hope to recreate someday.

Oh I see caviar and sour cream is your way. Wow. Enjoy!

12. Best clams in the world as well.

Something about the tides coming in from three different directions.
