North Inlet Oysters: A Perk of Living on the Coast-Local Dining, a Whole New Definition

A friend (thanks, Terry Guyton) dropped off a special delivery yesterday afternoon. I came home to this pleasant surprise of North Inlet select oysters.
Harvesting oysters can be a casual affair, but it is not for the faint of heart. Casual in that it is easy to launch your boat (or untie it if you own on the creek), go out into our neighboring creeks, pull up to an oyster bank on a really low tide, and harvest oysters. It becomes harder to harvest bucket loads. It is particularly difficult to cull through and "hunt" for select oysters and not just grab the clusters. 

Back to my special delivery...I obliged this generous offering by calling a foodie friend and eating everyone of the oysters. They were delicious.

Creek to table... the seasonal bounty of North Inlet is a wonderful treat  and culinary privilege.
