So we went up to Monte Rio for their annual variety show (raises money for the fire dept and local Catholic church), and on the way we stopped at Bodega Bay Oyster Co on the road from Petaluma through Valley Ford toward the coast. I always like to pick up a couple of dozen oysters to shuck and have as part of the appetizer offering the first night. I got a dozen small Miyagis and a dozen small Kumamotos. Three got consumed while I was shucking, but looking back at the pic I took of the plate, I don’t think they counted out their dozen correctly. I see at least 35 oysters here. I thought I was doing a lot of shucking.

That’s Gus - friend’s dog they rescued on the highway a few years back.
