With the fourth of July behind us, summer is in full swing! I know it has been a while since I have sent out any updates, but I can assure you that they will continue coming. This is a great time of year for the fresh seafood industry, especially for local products. Right now, the rockfish are running strong, along with soft shell crabs, bluefish, and wild Alaskan salmon. I have been able to get most of these items on a daily basis. Some other great local products that we have been able to bring in are oysters. I have teamed up with the boys in the Rappahannock River, and they are sending out some AMAZING oysters. Right now, they have been sending me many of their different options, to include, Stingray Bays, Barcats, Witch Ducks and Rappahannock’s. If you have not had a chance to try these beauties, come in and try them. All 4 of these oysters are coming from extremely similar water conditions; however they each take on their own identity and have their own unique characteristics. I would recommend trying one of each right next to each other just to do a comparison.
Upcoming Wine Dinner:
It has been some time since the last wine dinner (which was a huge success if you missed it) so of course you know I am going to be hosting another one. This one will be held on Friday July 23rd and I will be partnering with Palm Bay Wines. I hope to have the menu finalized later this week and will send that out as soon as I get it done. Rest assured, it will be another great evening filled with fabulous wines and fantastic food. This will be a four course dinner with a reception for only $65 per person. As always, feel free to email me for reservations as I am certain this one will fill up fast just like all others in the past.
I look forward to seeing everyone soon and I sincerely hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
