We have better than even odds of having the Navy Cove at Diversion Pizza today for raw oyster night. Once I put my hands on them I will confirm

They were real good, we moved a mess of oysters last night. My chef has been rotating making a different Mignonette every week. This week we had a Meyer lemon with soaked mustard seeds that pop in your mouth, paired with some yellow siracha sauce. It really makes the oysters pop instead of covering up the flavors with cocktail sauce.

Nice. I'm team Mignonette with these Navy Coves too. We polished off the rest of my box last night. Good stuff.

Thanks gentlemen! Oysters are fine like wine right now. Water quality in the bay has been beautiful. Not looking forward to harvesting Monday. 50 degrees and blowing 30mph from the North!!!

I'd be interested in that recipe. I've got a Meyer tree in my back yard full of ripe fruit that I need to start using

mailman; any possibility you might sell pre-shucked oysters in containers for use in thanksgiving dressing?

i would be walking around smug for weeks bragging that my dressing is loaded down with navy cove oysters.

Sorry unfortunately we do not. Shucked meats are half the price I get for wholesale in shell market. Our product is a little bit more expensive because of the way we grow and maintenance on the farm. We harvested this morning! As you can imagine that was no fun.

Ask and you shall receive. In negotiations with our processors to do shucked meats during the Holiday Season. I’ll let you guys know. I’ll send CAD a free shirt if it works out and is successful!

Quick bump to see if you think you'll have any ready by next Thursday.

If not there's still Christmas!

Sorry no shucked meats. Wasn’t worth it on our end as our half shell market is strong right now. But you can get them shipped and find a neighborhood shucker that needs Christmas money. Usually they ship 2 day ground. Otis and Balls can chime in as I’m not apart of the shipping process. We are harvesting Monday afternoon. I would call BSF Monday morning if you want for Thanksgiving.

I will say this warm Fall has them very salty with clean fat meats. Growing fast.

Grew up on the coast, I can shuck them, just trying to figure out how long out to order with thanksgiving in mind. Order Monday sounds like a plan.

Water temps right now and salinity have the oysters very healthy. 21 days in refrigerator or longer this time of year. After shucking treat as any other seafood. I’ve have some at 32 days in my fridge and still haven’t gaped or lost liquor. Every week we harvest I keep a dozen in the fridge to get data on shelf life:

Looked into shipping some from Bon Secour to NWLA for Thanksgiving at my parents. $80 oysters and $160 shipping. I think we will pass

Yep that’s outrageous shipping. I’m assuming Holiday pricing. Working on getting shipping available from my supplier in Bayou La Batre. Price increases when you have to cross the Bayway. Keep in mind if any local restaurants use Evans Meats or Inland Seafood they can get them delivered. Working on getting a truck to Louisiana for Crawfish season.

Yes that would be me. Grew up in Vermilion Parish. Went to High School in Kaplan. Good Baws down there. Glad you enjoyed!

Being that close and this time of year I would inquire about UPS ground shipping which should be cheaper. Always ask for Mrs Becky. They have a few new employees. But as I said we are working on getting them West regularly.
