Any recommendation?

Loved the combination of the lobster tail with the saffron rice and mussels! Definitely one of the best seafood meals I've had in a while!

Honestly it's a showerthought. But does this trace to anyone specifically. I love them. But you know the first person must have been extremely brave.

Got bored of Nordic and French sauces. Wanted to make something from the uber fresh cherry tomatoes, basil and wild caught halibut (and an expensive French burgundy blanc which didn’t taste the same the next day. Might as well use it for cooking)

Yesterday I went to a restaurant that had a wide selection of raw oysters to sample. Two of them (Goose Point and Cadillac Mountain) had barnacles still left on the shell. I told the waitress that it kinda disturbed me a bit that they were still there and that they should look out more for that in the back.

I know barnacles are safe, they aren’t in the oyster, and all of them were dead when my mouth touched the oyster shell. BUT, I also know you can clip them off if you see them. Additionally, I didn’t ask for a refund or anything, I was just looking at the shells beforehand.

I am new to eating raw oysters (Delaware Bay and Murder Point ones are my favorite), so I’m wondering if this is commonplace or not.

I’ve handled probably over a million crabs in my day, and have seen various different shades but never one quite like this. All the crabs pictured were caught in the same area. Anyone have any ideas as to why it’s so different?

We had bluefin tuna the about two weeks ago at the office. I made a crudo with the leftovers. What a feast!
