Great story KY, love, love, love the Outer Banks.
Am finally almost totally pleased with my gumbo method and will post later.
But, back to this thread--absolutely my favorite shellfish is abolone!!!! Have had some in restaurants many years ago. But mostly when working in logging camps on the outer islands here was able to get it on minus tides and cook up a feast. Just give it a good whack with a heavy cleaver, saute with a mix of olive oil, butter, and minced garlic. Very quickly!!!
But, since I don't get that too often, I drown my sorrows by slurping our local oysters. Are small, sweet and have actually won some awards. Been compared to Wellfleet. Had Wellfleet once and personally think that is valid.
nice thread, love the stories!!
