We woke up to some gorgeous light at Port Ludlow this morning. We headed north toward Port Townsend and decided to stop at Mystery Bay (on Marrowstone Island, just across the way from Port Townsend). Mystery Bay has a state park dock, and guess what they also have? A public…

Apparently, even though these are a relatively "new" oyster they've been around a few years and we're slightly late to the party, but whatever, we're here now and we'd like some of that there champagne punch, please! These are called Shigoku oysters, and they come from Taylor Shellfish Farms in…

We took our lunch break today and drove down to Apalachicola for some more local oysters. (You'll also learn, if you click that link, that the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue was shot in Apalachicola.) Anyway, we went to Boss Oyster for our lunch and sat out on the deck…
