Just received 5 dozen Beaufort oysters from HollieWood Oysters on the Island. They were delivered farm-direct by Greg, who along with his wife Hollie, own the company. I used to deal with him at Araxi, and always looked forward to his visits. He had a casual Island way about him that I could relate to and his product is always outstanding.
This is the first time I have used their Beaufort. It is relatively large (4″) and will get baked with bed of stinging nettle and a crust preserved lemon butter and breadcrumbs. I’ve never done oyster with nettle before, but for some reason I just know it will work.
Oh, it WORKED.
I was there, enjoying every bite. We felt fortunate to be able to participate in such a wonderful dinner, Owen. Thank you!
Love me some Hollie Wood. Greg’s okay, too.
