Recommended for those who think they can eat $35 worth of oysters in an all-you-can-eat circumstance: It’s Flying Fish’s 8th Annual Oyster Frenzy. Tomorrow afternoon, chef Chris Keff hosts a bivalve free-for-all in the restaurant’s new South Lake Union digs, with oysters on the half shell, crispy fried oysters, baked oysters, and oyster chowder. Meet local oyster farmers (including those from Penn Cove Shellfish, Shelton’s Taylor Shellfish Farm, and Wallin Oysters), witness frantic shucking… Note: The Frenzy also officially kicks off the season for Flying Fish’s famous oyster happy hour (oysters at the bar for $.50 from 4 pm-7 pm every day!).
More info and lots more chow events over here.
“And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:”
Lev11:10
Just saying – oysters are nasty. You might as well drink a glass of Puget sound – they both taste the same.
