Till It's Done

While traveling to Seattle for a few days, I stopped by Elliott’s Oyster House for – well you guessed it – oysters.  Elliott’s is located in downtown Seattle, on the Puget Sound waterfront.  Upon entering, I was greeted by 15+ types of beautifually displayed oysters behind the rar bar with two full time shuckers.  Since I was solo, I decided the best place to sit was a the bar to see the action.  While I probably could have eaten dozens, I restrained myself to a half dozen, chatting with one of the shuckers about his favorites and ordering a variety.  I also ordered a local beer – Manny’s Pale Ale – to pair with the oysters and a bowl of oyster stew to top it all off.  So which were my favorites?  They were all good, but the Hama Hama were my fav – they were briny and delicious.  That’s how I like mine anyway.  I also saw a LOT of orders for  Penn Coves and Fanny Bays.  I’ll have to try those next time.  The soup was excellent and filling.  After a bit more conversation with the shuckers, I was on my way.

Thanks to my friend from Seattle for the recommendation.  It was awesome!
