Not a Bad way to spend one of the first days of spring at Merroir... may we suggest a side of wine and raw oysters.
Another beautiful day at Virginia Oyster Academy. Thank you Captain Saunders for an amazing day!
Oysters Rockefeller on the grill!
Sorry for the delay in announcing our Week 3 winner of "For the LOVE of oysters". The news from Urbanna had us distracted.
(drum roll.....) "For the LOVE of Oysters!"- Yes, it's York River Oyster Company in Gloucester, VA. They're got great oysters, a menu full of variety, craft beers and an awesome outdoor deck with views of the marina. Perfect for these early spring days!
Week 3 Contest Winner: Brian Byrd of Byrd's Seafood Co, LLC.
