My wife's family celebrated her 50th Birthday this past December by planning a 4 day weekend in Morro Bay.
While researching places to visit, I read about this oyster farm and wanted to stop by here during our visit. The only problem, there were many family member who were not fans of the oyster be it raw or cooked in any form.
So on Sunday morning, the "guys" all agreed to join me to check out the oysters while our spouses all went shopping and beer tasting in DT Morro Bay.
We started off with some freshly shucked oysters as well as their baked oysters. Since we had some oyster neophytes in our group, I wanted them to try both and learn what a really freshly shucked oyster is really like compared to those sitting already shucked at a buffet.
Our freshly shucked oysters was ready in just few minutes. They came plated with care with small portion cups of their housemade mignonette nestled between those lovely oysters.
I added some of the mignonette onto my first Grassy Bar Oyster.......Holy Crap, that was a taste combination made in Heaven! I normally add a few drops of Tabasco and a squeeze of lemon, but that sauce was so satisfying and complimented the oyster well.
The oyster itself was plump, briny, juicy, fresh and tasted of the sea in a very good way.
These fresh raw oysters with the mignonette made those in our group who were reticent of eating raw oysters before were now fans of them.
Our baked oysters took some time to be prepared and cooked. But when they arrived, we all dove right in, but be forewarned, those oyster shells are super heated to grab right away with your fingers. But once you can grab one safely, they were also very enjoyable.
Our group like both styles of oysters, and soon everyone was taking turns buying rounds of both types of oysters. I could've sat out there all day just eating oysters, sipping some adult beverages, enjoying the views and being with family.
I was saddened to see that many of the Morro Bay businesses we visited in December were impacted by those torrential storms the following January. I am really hoping every business recovers so we can stop by and visit on a regular basis!
