To me, this is a
thing of beauty. A large bowl of Oysters, Shrimp, Stone Crab Claws, Mussels
& Lemon, which should be slathered in hot sauce and enjoyed alongside a
cold hand crafted libation. Happy Saturday Everyone.

The Spicy Oyster Shooter
The end of Summer is steadily approaching and with that we will need to start switching up our drink and dinner menus to fit the season accordingly. With it being the 1st day of September that means that Oyster Season has officially begun. September is home to some great food holidays and today is actually National Wine Seasons 1st day as well as National Cherry Popover Day.
With the amount of days we have to spend laying out by the pool dwindling it is time to introduce to you, The Spicy Oyster Shooter. Playing out like a Bloody Mary mixed with the most delicate sushi, this drink is one that can’t be passed up on. I am sure many people will get nervous when they hear it has an actual oyster in it, but with the spicy cayenne pepper, pepper vodka and celery salt, this thing will taste better than drink you have consumed after biting into the freshest of hand made sushi rolls.
Enjoy this often as Oysters are good for you (and for your libido according to who you ask.)

Recipe Of The Day: California Style Roasted Oysters
Today being National Oyster Day we wanted to deliver a simple and delicious recipe that wont have you standing over the stove or a BBQ all day.
I know many people out there are scared of oysters because they don’t know how to open them, prepare them or eat them. But have no fear, if I can be taught to do it and you have a bit of patience you can do it to.
Patience and a few key ingredients found in most kitchens will have you quickly impressing everyone with these supposedly libido enhancing bad boys.
Let us throw a few facts out there, first off Oysters should never smell fishy, should never be purchased if they are cracked or chipped to the point you can see inside them and should never be eaten if they have been left out in the sun or a warm room.
For best results buy your Oysters the night before or the day of needing them, wash them in cool water and keep them on ice in the fridge until they are ready to be used.
This recipe pulls together pretty quickly and packs more flavor into a single bite than any Fish Filet could ever do for you.
It’s Friday, so live a little and try something different this evening. I promise you, if you take your time with this dish right here, everyone’s creative juices flowing and your going to be the hit of evening.
Enjoy!
