Food Thread: Oysters And Bars And Happy Hours
This once was a temple of oyster gastronomy; The Grand Central Oyster Bar. Sadly faded, but still a fascinating glimpse into what New York City once was.

Ran across a bunch of pea and spring onion soups, etc. Pea Consomme Looks delicious: Lemon-Poppy and Chevre Cheesecakes I would love this: Soft-Shell Crab And Bacon Sandwiches Pretty desserts:Spring Garden Cake, and a slideshow!

Here's a recipe that Bluebell swears doesn't stink up your kitchen. And that is a big deal for me, since the hood over my stove is crap, because of both design flaws and being underpowered. It is an integrated hood/microwave/convection oven, and two of the three are useful and work well. But form certainly did not follow function in this case.

I am all for learning a bit of arcane stuff about food. And this article sort of interesting, but please; ease up on the smug. And the easy pontification about things you know not-quite-enough to be considered an expert. Like this:
Ostriches are the largest birds on earth, which means they lay the largest eggs.Uh...no. They may be the largest birds on earth, and they may lay the largest eggs, but one does not prove the other. Sorry. A Guide to Egg Varieties
I was all set to give you a wonderful arugula and potato salad. I was confident that I had never posted it. Right up until I checked, and found that I had indeed posted it, and not too long ago. Yeah....tell me again what the upside to growing old is.... So you will have to settle for a hastily researched recipe. I never made it, but it looks good. If it sucks, it's not my fault! Leave me alone! I need my binky.... Lentil and Sausage Soup for a Cold Winter's Night I do have a quibble. I would not use Italian sausage. I think anduille or a chroizo would be a better choice. They are firmer, have a bit of spice, and don't have fennel, which seems discordant in this recipe.

I'm not so sure about a 22 minute baking time for salmon. I baked a one pound hunk last night for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. It was perfect, flaky goodness.
But I use a wet cedar plank which evens the cooking. The strategy is:
Cookie sheet
Line with aluminum foil
Saturated cedar plank
More water in cookie sheet
Salmon
Oven
It's not that the cedar plank imparts any flavor. Forget that. It's just the proper wood for the task.

At the end of the day, it's just food. And having a few foods that, for whatever reason, just gross you out is not important in the least.
I think people who are extremely rigid and won't try anything new are missing out on some fun stuff. And it probably reflects on their world view, but still...

It's just one of the benefits of living in RI. All residents are entitled to as much free lobster as they can eat.

If you google "Stoney Point Rd, Barnstable MA" you get a map. Flip the map to satellite view.
Just north of what you're seeing, in the sand flats of Barnstable Harbor, you'll see what looks almost like a bar code in the sand. Zoom in on that and what you're looking at is the boxes of an oyster farm.
There was a time a few years ago that they were arranged in a pattern that spelled out "eat more oysters".

Dad says on Summer evenings when he was a kid they would go and pick
oysters on low tide off the rocks on a little backwater across
from one of the oyster farms.
Mom used to fry them regularly, but I honestly think she only did it to get the 10 oz oyster jars with the Mason standard threads so she could get free jam jars.
I know she was not happy when the local producer went to plastic jars.

Or Costco, I guess - not a member, but they are the largest buyer of wine on earth, and must have some good values.
I'm lucky to have an incredible store where the owner has gone from very good at this, to beyond excellent at this. I don't go in as often as I used to, but it was not unusual to snag a close-out/discontinued/etc. premium wine for 1/4 it's normal price. I still remember an amazing Aussie syrah for $20 (originally sold in the $80s) - should have bought a case.
But CBD's suggestion of prosecco is good and on-point here. My store usually has very nice prosecco for under $8. Got in the habit of starting any meal with guests with prosecco after spending a lot of time in Italy. Fallen away from that, need to stock up and revive the tradition.

Yeah, the one in GCT is faded, and kinda stuck in the 1970s, but dammit, you need to have some landmarks left and the food isn't bad. It still needs a decent restoration.
+1 for the Acme in New Orleans.
Now my ultimate oyster experience in a restaurant, I was working at Fort Polk on the support side, and had to run over to Beaumont, TX. There is a Pappadeaux Seafood on the side of I-10, and anyone who has been to Houston or its satellites knows about the Pappas restaurant family. Anyway, they were advertising locally caught ones on the half shell, 3.99 a dozen. Big, plump, fresh. Every bit as good as the Appalachicola oysters of the Florida panhandle that most folks think are such hot shit.
I think I ate seven dozen. Not the record, the bartender informed me, but a 90th percentile performance nonetheless.

Oysters cooked, yes. Raw, no. But I will eat raw clams on occasion, but steamed into submission is my preference.
My wifes favorite is a special seafood bowl, spinach at the bottom, then a flounder filet, then oysters, shrimp, crab, cheese, a little white wine. Baked just long enough to solidify the flounder. It's a Chincoteague, Virginia thing.

But I still love the look of the Grand Central oyster bar.
Just finished squeezing a large full bottle of grapefruit juice (yellow grapefruit). Friend has a huge old tree and lives far enough from the coast that the grapefruit ripen to a perfect sweet/tart balance.

you'd be wrong.
i was force fed cat food all my childhood, because my parents loved it and we were severely Catholic, so it was served every damn friday, all year long.
recognizing where my distaste for bait originated, i have, as an adult, gone back and tried it at various acclaimed sources, such as the Cajun place out in SW Louisiana, near New Iberia, where the locals stood in line, and right off the boats in Seattle, plus others.
either it doesn't taste like much of anything at all, other than seasonings, or it tastes like feesh, with the odd nasty mouth feel thrown in (calamari, octopus, oysters, sea cucumber, etc)
unless we are starving to death on a desert island, i'll pass, thankyouverymuch.
there are too many options out there that i do enjoy to make myself eat weird shit i don't like, just to prove how hip, k3wl and edgy i am.

Dunno about that, honestly. People just sort of like different things. The idea of say, a crab boil or an oyster dinner or even just lobstehs is appealing, all fancy but folksy at the same time, but having seen people eat raw oysters, I'm not really tempted. It's like some people who have hangups about eggs, or tartare, or grapefruit, or whatever. If it's repulsive to you and you won't enjoy eating it, don't.

I remember walking into the Cloudy Bay tasting room - which wasn't finished, workers were doing carpentry still - and that label soon became among the most well-known.

Never had shrimp before where I had to remove its creepy-crawlies on the bottom and unshell it. And of course it was completely undeveined, so all sorts of fun black-colored surprises inside.
It was still good, but I think I'll stick to their popcorn shrimp for a while at least.

Lizzy, I make that every year! But I'm pitiful at getting everything to hold together when we travel with it. The first time I made it, we were going to my sister-in-law's house about 45 minutes away. Every time we hit a bump or turned a corner, another piece fell off.
When we got there, her husband looked at it and said, "looks like the rabbit died."
Which means I have made it every year since then, just for him.
They are the ones in London though, so we won't be together for the first time in almost 20 years

When you have cooked with fresh seafood, your kitchen doesn't stink. My wife loves tuna salad, made from canned tuna. I always accuse her of eating cat food, because it stinks.
I recently planked a fresh tuna filet and made her tuna fish from that. No fish smell whatsoever.
Things like flash freezing and vacuum sealing with gas are taking frozen, then thawed fish into a new realm of freshness virtually identical to freshly caught.

I'm fortunate in the oyster department. My old neighbor is a very successful oyster farmer who ships his oysters to high end restaurants around the country and I am surrounded by farms so the quality is pretty universally high.
But the sickest I've ever been from food was a bad oyster at a restaurant in Boston. It's a really well know place and I had eaten them there many times but one bite, didn't even swallow it, and I was run/staggering between the bedroom and bathroom for a week.
That's half the challenge. You gotta admire prey that still wants to kill you even after it's dead.

Drago's - They have their own beds. Specialty is Charbroiled.
Casamento"s - Specialty is fried. Best in town. Thery are only open during oyster season.
Antoine's - Specialty is Rockerfeller
Pascal's Manale - Great oyster bar. Specialty is Barque Shrimp (not what it sounds like).
Acme is OK- They serve a Gumbo in a bread bowl.
Actually hard to miss a good spot when they are in season. Some people don';t like our oysters because they are too big. To each their own.

One of the really cool things about oysters is that they really are so diverse and dependent on their habitat there is so much diversity even even amongst oysters of the same region or water. We have a seafood fair here every summer and a bunch of oyster farms from all over the northeast come. All of the oysters are different to some degree.

Violent. About 24 hours, exactly. Felt like I'd been punched in the gut, or run into the crossbar at full speed on the ice - diaphragm was so sore from its exertions.
But did get to see what it's like to spend an entire flight in an airliner bathroom (think I even refused to come out for landing, memory's not clear on that).
Needless to say will never touch another seafood salad again.

I love that the first ingredient of your lentil soup is "lentil soup" (and I mean that in a good natured way) I do like the cooking style sometimes called "half scratch" where you combine pre-made items together to make something new.

What's really sad is living 10 miles from the Atlantic and the Chesapeake Bay, but the local grocery only has fish from Brazil, Chile, Taiwan or China.
Luckily, I don't have to go far to get REAL, fresh fish from a decent fishmonger. Almost anything caught this morning can be bought in time for dinner.
And, with the weather breaking, plenty of friends are just looking for an excuse to take the boat out.

for various reasons I altered my recipe last night and wound up with a very nice cornbread recipe, it just takes extra time.
Mix together:
1 cup of cornmeal
1 cup of warm water
1/2 tsp yeast
set in a warm place and let work overnight.
The next morning when you are ready to bake, heat a 9x9 pan in the oven with a tablespoon of shortening or lard,
Do this as you preheat your oven for baking. It will start to smoke if you let it go too long so keep an eye on it.
Mix in a separate bowl:
1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup of dry milk
1 Tbsp molasses
1/2 tsp salt
1 beaten egg
1 cup of flour
Then fold this into the cornmeal and water mixture that was working over night.
Don't overbeat because you want to keep the yeast generated CO2 in the cornmeal.
the batter should be like thick pancake batter.
spoon the batter into the 9x9 pan on top of the heated shortening.
Bake at 300F for 30 minutes or until a knife stuck in comes out clean.
It does not taste like baking soda at all, and actually does rise well

It's OK, I'll eat her share.
Two times coming back in from overseas deployments, we landed at Bangor, Maine to clear customs, and both times I had what I thought was a pretty good lobster roll. Then I was up outside Boston in Quincy, Mass a couple years back, and holy shit. The Lobster Stop, right at the traffic circle where the USS Salem museum used to be before the pier collapsed and they moved her, damn. Get in there and get some. Food is amazing.

Mmmm. Steamed mussels in cream/lemon sauce.
Grammie, if you've never had mussels before you should go to an Italian restaurant, and maybe get your husband to order them as an appetizer and try one. They are similar to clams, but with a stronger flavor. And ask for a spoon - I can never resist finishing off the broth. Otherwise you'd have to use one of the shells as a McGyver kludge in order to drink it.

I was debating rum, I sometimes do Dark N Stormys when I have dark rum. I have some Cruzan aged that may just work.

Chelsea Clinton sees a picture of Abraham Lincoln with a red 'Make America Great Again' hat and tweets:
Please tell me this is Photoshopped. Please?
Sorry, Chelsea. It's real.
You obviously, are not.
When will our long national nightmare of the Clinton dynasty end. Please?

Oh yes. Rum is God's own perfect creation.
Cruzan will work just fine.

If you've got some disposable income, look into sous-vide. Anova is the current winner in the immersion circulator wars.

I was invited to a wedding near Morehead City where hundreds of oysters were steamed open on hot rocks beside a campfire. I remember being given a paper plate, a butterknife (iffy on that - might've been more specialized), and a bottle of beer.
Delicious.

I don't mean to go all "Sam I Am" here, but I'm telling you, if you look at that dress, you'd castrate yourself just for the privilege of wearing it. Elegant, classy, yet sensual with see through sleeves and shoulders.

I think the one thing I miss most about that area is Wegmans. Great meat and seafood section and the wines were awesome!!!

(Serves Four)
...this is a condiment for your Mexican or Southwestern dish.
-Dice 1/2 medium Bell Pepper of choice into corn-sized pieces.
-Heat a cast-iron skillet to "Blast-Furnace" and turn-off heat. Add 1/2 package Frozen Corn, (8oz.) and wait for shit to get blazing and blackened.
-Add Bell Pepper.
-Shake Coriander onto blackened corn and softened Bell Pepper, to taste. (approx. 1/2 Tbsp.)
-Squeeze the juice of one Lime onto Delicious Concoction.
-Salt and Pepper to taste.
Sprinkle into taco/burrito/enchilada/salsa like you were going to Heaven tomorrow.
-Enjoy!
P.S.: I didn't call it "salsa" because without tomatoes, most people would not consider this sweetened delicacy a "salsa".

For Heaven's sakes, man, it's not going to bankrupt you to just try raw oysters for once in your life! Cold, slippery texture? Yes, but nothing quite like them with some lemon and that spicy red sauce. And if we're going to mix ideology with food (NTTAWWT) I would not recommend McD's anything. They are just another libtarded megacorporation. They are anything but America, and we shouldn't be funding them (if you, like me, are concerned with that sort of thing).
Although I'm impressed that you could make a description of eating McDonald's swill sound like pornography.

A few years ago for Thanksgiving I served grilled venison backstrap (taken two days prior) surrounded by bacon wrapped scallops grilled on skewers, and all on a bed of seafood cornbread dressing. Shrimp, crab, and crawdads. A lot of work but a huge hit.
I think cooking the scallops in the oven on skewers in the oven would've turned out almost as good and been a lot less stressful.

Fuck, I peeled crawfish til my fingers bled. Whatever they pay those poor foreigners, they are welcome to it. They must be the equivalent of the little old black ladies with laser accurate fingers that worked the crab picking and packing lines of the Chespeake Bay area pre-WWII.

I am adventurous, with food. Except some mom food. Where do they... never mind. Anyway. Glad to see someone else got in the mood. I also ordered a crab. It's the one thing I miss about living by the sea. Though I think having great steak, pork, and other meats is worth the price. I sort of come down on the side of red and white animal. Well, considering the prices of each, anyway.
Good show, Sport.

Also, amazingly, a little place called Casey's Crab Company right out the south gate of Fort Meade, Maryland on the side of 198.

His cooking looks really good! He also does a lot of pretty entertaining reviews of pre-packaged processed meals, including the weird stuff you'll see on a store shelf and think, "What? Somebody put that in a can?".

It's been years since I've had a meal in New York and I cannot recall one anywhere so hip or trendy that I might catch an elbow over it. I think I would have to get something to go.
