The Hungry Ferret loves to go to festivals.  Here we have the spot where the hungry ferret decided that fresh tasty oysters are really Good Eats.  In the past this ferret didn’t really care for the tasty brine sweetness.  But the freshness won him over.

In the parking lot of the LIRR Oyster Bay station, they set up a mini Amusement park where there are plenty of rides.

Unlimited refills on soda if you bought a metal mug.  It is a pricy purchase though $15.  The taste of the soda was decent.  It was freezing so Hungry wasn’t very thirsty.

Looking for fun time where people try to gorge themselves.  This is different from other contest.  You have to have the skills to be able to open up the goodness inside instead of just being able to down the suckers.  Imagine if Coney Island Nathans people had to make the hotdogs before eating them.

Steam Clams on the left and Clams on the half shell on the right.
Clams are different from Oysters even though they both in the shell.  Raw clams have a nice sweetness and frim meat that Oysters don’t have.  The half shells and the steamers were quite good and they are clean.  No sand here, which happens a lot with clams.

Oyster Stew
This was not very tasty and not much meat.

Steamed Clams
Sweet firm meat with a side of butter.

Lobster Bisque
Very tasty lobster tasting soup.  No lobster meat though.

Mussels with wine sauce
Very good white wine favor.  Meat was very tasty, this Hungry Ferret wished he had a loaf of artisan bread to dip in the sauce.

Raw Oysters on the half shell.
Super Fresh and great flavor.  These look like blue points, which some people also name any medium size Atlantic oyster.  I flavored these fine ones with the touch of cocktail sauce and horseradish, which just made this Hungry Ferret’s day.  The line was long and wished he got an extra dozen oysters.

Pan Fried Soft shell crab sandwich
This sandwich was good, Hungry put some mayo and a couple dashes of hot sauce.  The whole sandwich screamed with full crab flavor.

Free Massages afterwards provided by Verizon.  Thanks Verizon for the massages.
