Tomorrow evening… Friday... MAJ
USA RET and his Misses will be on a date at Harbor Docs! She’s enamored with catfish… and he is comin’
for oysters. Shay is reserving a bottle
of Tabasco for him.
That’s right! Shay
knows the LMF Curmudgeon is headed his way to see (and eat) what’s real!

Thanks for your service. It takes a special person to be a Marine. Worked with many, admire them all.

We dined out on the open deck….
watched the evening progress… and listened to some good music. We were saying, “Must
be good - there’s a steady flow of customers for a Fall Friday.”
Wow… “all you
can eat catfish.” She loved it! HOWEVER, “all you can eat” comes on one plate
with leftovers if you are a little person.
She had a margarita “up” with Jose (a friend of hers). Sure enough… a half dozen oysters can be had
with Tabasco delivered to the table. One of the
oysters was at the lower catch limit… so, Chez Shay threw in an extra! I Followed the bottom critters with the (three)
chicken fingers meal. Only a paltry three?
Hah! They were so large that I had to put one in our “dawgy bag”
(actually a nice black box). Outstanding and copious (spicy!) French Fries.
My wife is already talking about the next
date.
[less than 30 minutes from
StillWaters… be smart about the drinks… that road is curvy going home in the
dark… better yet, TAKE A BOAT 32 42.718, -85 56.296]

Glad you enjoyed a night out with your bride. We agree about Harbor Dock. Just a good place; hope it survives. Enjoy all the Apalatchicola Oysters you can find as fast as you can. I feel it is only a matter of time until the required fresh water from the river into Apalatch Bay has been decreed/provisioned/legislated/and reduced to a trickle, and the end of the oyster beds at the mouth.

I just finished reading “Skipjack” by Christopher White… about
the demise of the skipjack fleet (sailing dredgers)on… and the impending demise
of the oysters in… the Chesapeake Bay (“MSX” Multinucleated Sphere unknown...
later determined to be Haplosporidium nelsoni).
There is a serious consideration to
introduce an oyster species from Asia… but, it has not met with widespread
acceptance. I grew up on that bay. Even though it matters naught with the
Apalachicola oysters… I still do not eat oysters in months with no R.

Whoever ate the first one had to have been one seriously hungry human. Any way you can look at them, they ain't pretty or anything a reasonable person would put in his mouth for food. But, man they are good!!
