I can totally relate. I’ve been blogging for 11 months now, I’ve had a blast, learning more about food (thanks to your blog) and sharing our experience in the kitchen.

When I first visited your site, I thought I’d be reading a lot about seafood and stuff but instead has provided me a wealth of information on many culinary topics.

Happy blog-anniversary!

Wow a year already! Congratulations on still going strong. I myself will hit that point in January and am still in shock that with Roman in tow I am writing at all anymore.

Another good Oyster place is Pearl Oyster Bar in New York City. http://www.pearloysterbar.com/

We went there for a friend’s birthday one year and I left enamoured of their raw bar. I am a bigger fan of clams myself than oysters, but they have both and they are fresh and delicious.

Amber – I can only imagine all the culinary delights you are experiencing in NZ – can’t wait to learn about it. I tried a lot of oyster on the East Coast having many a fun time at Old Ebbit’s oyster bar – sign, miss that place.

Leela – ah thanks, I can only say I really appreciated discovering your blog and getting to know you via your posts. This has been such an amazing experience. I’ll try to get some more oyster info going forward.

Heather – Thanks. I’m with you, for us exotic was definitely shrimp and oh, don’t get me started on scallops. wow. Nice to be able to explore and expand horizons.

Sippity – love the R rebel in you. what an oyster fiend. But to drive all the way from LA to Tomales Bay – I salute your dedication!

I am an absolute oyster fantatic. I have driven to Tomales for the afternoon from LA on more than one occasion! I used to make a point of eating oysters in R months just to watch others gasp! HA I am that much of a dedicated fiend. GREG

Happy anniversary! I really love your blog and have learned so much about blogging by reading yours. I look forward to more wonderful posts, and the pleasure of making your acquaintence soon! PS I love raw and BBQed oysters, loathe oyster stew and adore Tadich and Swan, but this is an adult passion! The most exotic seafood we ate growing up was shrimp and sole plus whatever we caught. The year my sis caught a Ling cod was exciting. What an ugly fish but tasty!

Happy blog anniversary, LouAnn! Thank you for a year of information I would not have received otherwise, tales from your trips all over the globe, and so many valuable tips. Most of all, thanks for your friendship, encouragement, and generosity. You’re definitely one of my favorite bloggers.

Here’s to many more years of oysterfoodandculture – a fabulous blog about how to cultivate, market, cook, and eat oysters.

Wait a minute …

Congratulations on your first year… many more to come I hope! I enjoy your writing so much.

I have had oysters twice here now in NZ and I have to say, I think they are the best I’ve ever had! Did I say that out loud? I usually am a huge fan on Northeast oysters even though I am a West Coast girl. Did you have them while here? I’ve asked what kind they are and the response I get is really funny. They just look at you funny and say ‘they’re from up the road’ or something similarly vague. I guess I should just enjoy the incredible freshness and brininess.

And, Tadich looks great. I’ll have to try it soon!

Cheers!

Sophie – Thanks!

Zerrin – Ah shucks! You teach me a heck of a lot not so sure about the reversed role, but thank you so much.

Gastro – I’ve had my suspicions =) Thanks!

Carolyn – I hope to live up to my name at some point!

Gera – =) Thanks

Lisa – I’m shocked – if you ever come to SF, we can remedy the raw oyster situation!

Happy Anniversary of blogging! I have to admit I’ve never shucked an oyster. I like eating them on the half shell, fried, and smoked, but I rarely prepare them myself. I should though, and my grandmother always used to make an oyster dressing for the holidays. Now, I’m getting ideas.
