I've heard there is a special place with the best Po'boy sandwich on the Canal and I'm raring to go. Can you help me out?..

Thanks. My wife and I went to Anthony's HP for dinner last week and I had breaded oysters. Damn, they were good! So I'm on an oyster kick now..
Me too. Unfortunately you have to leave the shells on the beach if gathered here.
Or buy them in the shell - Uwajimaya has a great selection $$$
Kyllo's in Lincoln City has great pan fried oysters on their happy hour menu. Along with that you can sample excellent Netarts oysters on the half shell but I gotta tell you the best raw oysters I ever had were gulf oysters in New Orleans. I have to blame you guys for getting me hungry. Damn!
Interesting. I say that having heard about the fine dining and best food in New Orleans, so I was excited to sample it. For oysters, I was directed to the Acme Oyster House or whatever it's called in the French Quarter. The oysters on the half shell were good, but definitely not as good as the Olympia and other premium oysters available here in western WA. Same for all seafood IMO. Mrs. Salmo and I went to several high end restaurants - coat and tie required for men - that have outstanding reputations for fine seafood. I ate redfish, black drum, and grouper, oh, and catfish to heighten my true southern experience. It was all good, but not as good as the local fish around here, from halibut, lingcod, and even the ubiquitous black rockfish. I think we're spoiled with the best quality seafood in the world, although I haven't sampled the entire world. Oh, and blue crab, it's good too, but it doesn't hold a candle to Dungeness crab, not even close. I'll still go back to Nawlins' because we like the music, the vibe of the city, and eating at hoity-toity restaurants where the food is almost as good as we have here at home.
There’s a restaurant between Half Moon Bay and Princeton on the NorCal coast. I took my boss in there after he had toured a facility I had been doing some repair work on. He wanted a drink so I suggested he try an oyster shooter, he had no idea what I was talk about so I ordered him one with Sky vodka. It was a good thing I was driving I think he had 3 or 4 before we left.
I'm in agreement with all except the oysters. I too sampled all there was to try, even gator on a stick. Didn't do any of the high end joints other than the Ritz Carlton. Just had fun. Was picking at a soft shell crab when a guy says where you from that you don't know how to eat soft shell crab. He was folding two at a time and eating shell and all. I said Seattle . He said Oh yeah I've been there and couldn't figure out how you could get a meal out of half a crab. Yes our Dungeness is superior but I'll stick with my love of gulf oysters. Oh, its all good.
A bowl of oyster stew and a dry martini for lunch damn near anywhere you can smell low tide in western WA. Perfect.

I hope she makes it. We’ve been needing another dining out option H’port for a minute.
What a great premise for a keger! Some of my fondest memories from living in WA were just such.
Just something about laying your rod aside, reaching down with your net and kicking in that perfect oyster. Sitting on a log and savoring your "breaktime" oyster.
