We are on vacation with another couple on the Eastern Shore of MD. Deal Island to be specific.

My Grandfather was a waterman on Tilghman Island about 60 miles north of here and 30 as the fish swim. This is very quiet with few outsiders. We have a house right on the water and can hear the waves day and night.

Yesterday was the opening of oyster season and today I got 3 doz fresh oysters at $5.00/doz Tonight we didn't feel like a lot to eat so we had shrimp. Tomorrow we will get into the oysters, some on the half shell and some grilled in the shell with garlic butter and lemon One in our party doesn't eat oysters or I would have gotten more. I'm planning on going back on Monday and get more

I also got a dozen jumbo soft shell crabs and two whales. They just might share the spot light tomorrow with the grilled oysters
