Taste of the Sea July 5th
Every other Friday night there is a man that
drives into the driveway in his little truck and opens the back of it
to display his fresh catch of oysters. How neat to have
door to door service with fresh seafood. These oysters are a specialty of the region. Because of the location of where they
are grown in the ocean flats, they have a particular flavor that
surpasses anything I've experienced. So Saturday night we had raw
oysters with lemon as a first course followed by mussels in curry
sauce. Never having eaten raw oysters I was hesitant but I did try 3
and eventually I think I will have more and more. The mussels were
the best I've eaten even though mussels are not among my favorites of
seafood. I had a little salmon to add to my dinner as I wasn't sure
how I would like the other specialties. You
can read more about it from:
postcards from a french inn
If you don't like oysters wait a week and you can get fresh mussels from another lady who drives by in her truck. With a toot of her horn you are notified that she has arrived. Bring your bucket to put the catch of the day in. Can't get much fresher than that. Such service.
In addition to have fresh seafood
delivered on Saturday there is a man who comes in the driveway to
sell his fresh chevre cheese. We bought 2 fresh and 2 aged rounds.
Oh man, I could live on those alone. Both Anne and I liked the aged
a little better but the fresh is so good too. The man that delivered
the cheese is very shy and barely said a word to us. I was told he
still lives with his mother! I must say, his cheese is fabulous.
