HUNGRY GERALD

HG//BSK joined gifted daughter, Lesley R., and her husband, the illustrious Professor/ author, Massimo R., for a joyous sea feast at Bristol Oyster Bar in the historic town of Bristol, RI. Yes, the eatery’s specialty is oysters but there are many other good things on the menu. Taking advantage of half price raw bar offers, HG ordered 30 oysters  (Big, medium sized and all perfectly shucked). HG obeys the injunction: Only eat oysters during months with an “r”. So, April is okay for lush, briny oysters from Rhody’s cold waters. This was followed by: Yellow Fin Tuna Poke–the chopped tuna was mixed with avocado, fried soba noodles and sriracha aioli. It was the best poke HG ever tasted; Fluke Ceviche– thinly sliced fish was mixed with strawberries, lime juice and shallots. Delicious. HG ate the two fish dishes (shared a small amount).  The other folks had a giant Jonah crab cake with remoulade and an herb salad plus calamari with fried pepperoncini. Desserts were generous creme brulees and chocolate mousse. BSK used HG/BSK’s $100 gift certificate (a Christmas present from Lesley and Massimo) to pay for the food and the dazzling bottle of Muscadet that accompanied the meal. Wonderful restaurant, Wonderful time. (If you want to take advantage of half price raw bar items these are the days and hours—Monday to Thursday 4PM to 6PM. Sunday 12PM-2PM. Get there any time at the noted hours and order from the raw bar, Our group was seated at 5:30 on a Thursday eve).
