For the record Popi had 3 dozen oysters: raw, rockefellered, BBQ’d, steamed, grilled and wrapped in bacon, scalded and frittered. Grammy had crab stuffed mushrooms, shrimp tempura, coconut shrimp, shrimp tacos, and a pint of local ale. DKM had… a diet coke(Note from DKM - sucks to be the vegetarian sometimes).
