Bought these Virginia Oysters from Northern Neck Oyster Co. at the Dorey Park Farmers Market yesterday. They were harvested from the Coan River a small tributary to the Potomac. I got up early this morning and smoked them with Cherry Wood pellets. They came out lovely.

These buttery Gwynn Island Oysters with a slight mineral taste were lovely served on a layer of blue salt and ice. The 🦪 were the 🍒 on top of a gorgeous cold January day.
