I decided to drive down to Tillamook and get some oysters and a crab or two. This place is amazing! They raise fresh oysters and shuck them right on the spot. The shells come out the other end of the building.
I decided to get some with the shells still on, grab a bottle of wine and feast in solitude at my lovely little cottage.
Yes, I am planning on eating ALL of the oysters, why do you ask? What are you implying???
I picked up some sourdough bread and wine…
I’m going to dig in and then spend the rest of the night reading and sipping wine. Wish you were here to enjoy it with me!
I wish I were there too. 😉
Oysters on the half shell have become difficult to find. Some restaurants that used to serve them in our area have stopped because of some health hazard potential. Even some sea food restaurants have stopped serving them. That is sad. At our wedding dinner my husband found a small pearl in his oysters. I treasure it.
Hi Granny Annie,
How cool that your husband found a pearl at your wedding? It is getting hard to find raw oysters, but they always have them in Tillamook. I eat as many as I can while I’m here, because Utah is not known for it’s seafood!

If you’d like to try Sauvignon blanc goes fantastic with raw oysters and it’s my go to sipping wine. Anything from New Zealand is not going to disappoint. You could also try Sancerre from France it’s the same grape. But the NZ wine will usually be more pocketbook friendly.
I love New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. It’s my summer sipping wine also. Great minds think alike!!
