I say, "Hoo-ray for the French!"
The popularity of oyster roasts along the Georgia coastline also soars in this season. Maybe it's because the pesky gnats are at their lowest population. Maybe because it's the experience of standing around a shucking table, the smell of wood smoke and wafting steam around our heads makes this a great social event.
Regardless, let the oysters rule.
How does one eat a steamed oyster? Many so-called oyster fans simply load the oyster with hot sauce and swallow it down in one gulp. Blasphemers, I say. The practice is equivalent to claiming a love of cheap milk chocolate.
Chew my friends. Taste the brininess, taste the sea, taste so that this oyster did not sacrifice himself in vain.
And, above all, enjoy...
