Oyster Roast

Evidently an oyster roast is a traditional event in the southeast. We were invited to our first Oyster Roast by our nextdoor friends. It took place at our friend’s family estate south of Savannah. It is now a private event space owned by what was the family enterprise and is now an international corporation.

We started with a tour of the home.

We started with roasting the oysters.

This is the traditional way of roasting oysters

Then eating the oysters

I overindulged here

Little did I know that there was a full barbeque brisket dinner to follow

I shouldn’t eat again for a week

Beautiful event in a beautiful place

The site of the venue was where the movie “Cape Fear” was filmed in the 1960’s. We watched the movie that evening.
