A couple of months ago, our friend Agnes mentioned that a local restaurant, The Ketch Seafood Grill, had a special on oysters every Monday night. Fresh oysters at half their usual price.
It has been years since I dined there. Alison and I have been meaning to go for some time, but never made it until last night.
We shared a platter of a dozen oysters on the half-shell. You can get them raw, or steamed. We chose to eat them raw. The dozen oysters only cost $5.95, a real bargain around these parts. Alison noted that that is comparable to what you would pay in the city where she lived in France. With them, Ali had a glass of white wine, and I had a draft beer.
When we were finished, we decided to stay for dinner. We shared a pound of boiled shrimp seasoned with Old Bay, and an order of wood grilled oysters, both very good, and quite affordable.
I am really glad to have rediscovered this place. I have a feeling we will be dining there quite often.
Oh yeah, they also have free wireless internet.
I had a really good time. Dinner AND a movie!

It sounds perfect--if only I liked oysters. I do love draft beer and shrimp though!

Love me some boiled shrimp!
Yeah, the oysters not so much.
