Oysters have gotten expensive. Even farmed are approaching $4 a pop. That said they are still one of my favorite things to eat. Raw or cooked.
East coast, yeah? I wonder if that's because they continue to grow in popularity. I rarely saw oysters on menus when I was younger, now they're everywhere.
On the west coast of Ireland there are an abundance and they're still pretty cheap. $15-20 for a dozen top quality oysters. I think the majority of them get exported to France where they sell for a lot more.

Yes. 36 miles north of the city. And not close to any oyster farms/beds. We have a few raw bars around and a dozen will set you back $36-$48.
You can find $2 oyster happy hours around here that used to be $1. I think $3 is pretty started these days with the better ones going higher. Gonna say, those South Carolina guys were my favorite in a long time…a lot of them were more razor shaped than round and just awesome
wow! Thai pepper beer glazed b sprouts with grilled butternut squash. Wow. Yum. Squash and peppers from my garden. Great combo. Didn't try the squash yet.

So here in the South Bay I met the owner of the Blue Island oyster farms. He leases all sorts of land from the counties. He ships his oysters all over the world now.
He also got in on the Billion Oyster project which cleaned up the south bay. These things are like the spleen of the ocean. It's nice too considering the oysters were farmed out and gone from the bay. They have plenty of them now.

That looks amazing.
Love the tableware as well.
Oh no, we have to have it. In fact, my kids said skip the turkey and just make green beans, stuffing and apple pie.
