When I want an oyster fix, I go to Dusty's. Usually, they are excellent. Last Saturday they were a little mediocre, lower salt factor etc. But that is the peril one assumes when being an oyster eater. Is there any food product you can name that is best enjoyed in cooler weather, yet still demanded twelve months out of the year? One so vulnerable in taste, size and texture depending on what is going on upstream or down in the gulf? And, if the panhandle oyster bidness is at all like the New Orleans market, a food industry where there are restaurant titans that get the grade A stock by default before the little players get their orders in to the wholesalers? I can't think of one. IT's words were harsh, doubt he meant harm, but accusing the management of 'ripping off' consumers implies a premeditated effort to scam the consumer. Hurricane's is only dealing with what mother nature and the market offers them. If one wants a consistent, never changing product, a Big Mac can be procured coast to coast for a similar price and zero heterogenity-there is a reason for that. God help us all when we start to demand McOyster.
