Ahhh, we debate this topic. The A'colas are a bit too salty for my palate;in fact, the last 2 dozen I have had were almost offensively salty (I guess owing to drought). The Louisiana ones are a bit salty but much milder and have an oyster flavor that I think is masked by the saltiness of the A'colas. To each their own...don't get me wrong, I will not turn down Florida oysters, they are better than anything I have had from the Pacific, I just like the subtle salinity of the ones I was raised on
What's your opinion on the oysters at the Boathouse Oyster Bar? Hard to beat the ambiance.;-)
Can't wait to try Gene's..thanks SJ!!
But the ? is who has the best oysters on 30-A, fried, steamed or RAW??
It took me about 30 minutes to get my 1/2 doz. I asked 3 different guys that were working in there for a refill for my coke. After the 3rd try, I finally got it. The oysters were good once I finally got them, but I felt bad for the folks that had been there a long time and then left. I mean, it is an Oyster Bar. Would you not think that they would have had plenty of them.
