Oyster Roast at the CPO Club today. OHHHHH MYYYYY Yummy. I had never had raw fresh oysters until about 15 years ago when Bob first took me to the club for the Oyster roast. Now I look forward to it every year. 7.00 and all you can eat oysters. They put them on a big hot grate over really hot coals, and keep turning them until they pop open with a steamy hissssssss. Baked beans, and cole slaw and fish sticks round off the menu. You load up your plate with oysters first, then go back for the beans etc. Gotta remember to bring your oyster knives and tabasco sauce and lemon. you open the oyster, and slide it right on down. Nice and warm and fresh and GOOD!!! no slime, these are really fresh right from Similk Bay! Now you dont have to wait for the roasted ones, you can reach in and grab as many raw ones still in their shell that you can eat. I like mine just hot enough to want to open easily, but not so hot that they are cooked too solid and become chewy. There ain't nuttin' better on a mid June day in the Pacific Northwest, than a good old fashioned Oyster Roast!!!!! Ya'll gotta come up and try it some time.
