bye bye summer fun

It's only Oct and I miss summer already. Come back heat and sunshine. summer is good for a lot of things, but among my favorites in this area is crabbing! I took my sister once and she called me boring. what a loser (i mean her). I got to go 3 times this year; once to Sandy Point State Park, once to Romancoke Pier (Sandy Point was full), and once to a pier off of VA beach (First Landing State Park boat ramp). VA beach was the most private and pleasant crabbing experience I've had yet. and we caught more than crabbies.

And if you like eating crabs and never had freshly caught blue crabs, you must! It's waay more tender.

I've only tried chicken on the string crabbing. One of these days i have to try it off a boat.

hello one arm crab

oysters!

fresh and tasty (just don't think about the murky water)

go grow nice and big so i can eat you next year

Thanks robbie for the lovely pics!

Hog Island Oyster Farm

hello again San Francisco! It was fun visiting family and friends again. My brother inlaw drove us about an hour and a half to Hog Island Oyster Farm. They brought us there years ago before I fully appreciated raw oysters. We did the whole bring your own picnic, relax, shuck your own oysters, it was great. Recently I started enjoying oysters a lot more, so I requested a revisit to Hog Island Oyster Farm. Luckily we made it there just in time for 4 of us to slurp up 2 dozen atlantic oysters. definitely not enough, so 50 more to go please. :)

 Tip: if you decide to bring home unshucked oysters, a shucker would be just dandy.

Medium Atlantic Oysters

$1 fresh oysters.  awesome! 

no shucker = hammer + screw driver + wood chisel + blisters = still worth it
