Oysters!! Bucket List Item. Check.

So tonight we had oysters.  First time.  Bucket list item.  Source of controversy and discussion.

My assessment?  Meh.

What is the big deal?  We shared a half dozen, and the first ones we had with mignonette sauce (whatever that was) and cocktail sauce.  #2 was naked - just chewed twice and horked it down.  Number three was just with lemon juice.

I feel like there is something I'm missing.  To begin with, I was expecting it to be WAY more like a big phlegm globber.  Not so.  More like a watery...I don't know...rubbery piece of chicken or fish?  With the first one, it just tasted like the sauce.  The second one was actually better naked - briny, salty, like the sea.  I dug that.  The third one was maybe my favorite, with just a bit of lemon juice.

We'll be on Cape Cod on Thursday, and we'll get them again in Wellfleet.  Let's see how we do then.

Before...


After...
