I loved to harvest them(even in months without an "R" - I didn't know any better.)

(1,338 posts)Best place I ever had them was at Boss Oyster in Apalachicola, Florida. Sadly, it has closed. A dozen of those, bottle of beer, then another dozen. Then we moved to NC.... haven't had any for 10 years. Have had beer, though, so all is not lost.
