I wonder where they get their oysters from….

I’ve heard the Apalachicola (where the Chattahoochee/Apalachicola river empties into the gulf in Florida) beds are safe, perhaps because outflowing water is keeping oil at bay. However, rumor has it when BP paid off the oyster farmers- even though there was good fishing, or oystering, or whatever you call it- they took the money and decided not to work.

I adore oysters quick-grilled in the shells over a hot fire; just enough so the shells pop, especially with Champagne. I’ve been eating Chesapeake Bay and Blue Points since. Sadly, even if the gulf beds are okay, many markets and restaurants will not buy them, per the shady providence of the catch…
