3rd Annual Christmas Oyster Celebration

On Christmas Day we celebrated our Oyster tradition with a few of our close friends, many of whom don't have family in town. It wasn't snowy like last year, but cold, clear, and sunny. We had many varieties of oysters served several different ways. It was, as in the past few years, a lot of fun!

Here Eric is prepping dozens of oysters (for frying) on Christmas Eve using Grandma Miller's secret recipe.

Christmas Day! Our first guests arrive: John and Bingo (the dog). Carmen was poised and ready to greet our holiday guests.


Let the shuckin' begin. The front of the house was the raw and grilled oyster hot spot.
