Oysters galore!
The third annual Ocracoke Working Watermen's Association Oyster Roast was held today at the Fish House. It was good eatin' as usual. And the weather was highly cooperative, as usual. It was sunny and warm, although the fog probably prevented some people from attending, as there were very few ferries running all day (even from Hatteras). But the people who did attend had a good time. John ate many, many oysters (also as usual...this is his favorite annual event).

Are the oysters harvested locally? We've lost so many of our oysters in the Chesapeak Bay, I'm just curious.
Hi Rebecca ~ oysters are harvested locally, but I am honestly not sure if all the oysters served at the roast were from Ocracoke waters, or if some supplementing from other areas was done. I am sure that if any of the oysters were from elsewhere, they weren't from far away (possibly Swan Quarter).
