yesterday, Toby and I had Wiano oysters from Cape Cod. they were medium sized, and good, but a little salty in the beginning. they were pretty fatty, though.

Last night, Toby and I went to dinner at Central Kitchen. It was really good! And the oysters we had were Beau Soleil, New Brunswick. They were small and flavorful.

On Saturday night, my dad took us out to dinner to celebrate me getting a job. We went to Jasper White's Summer Shack, which is known for its large selection of oysters.

Toby and I took notes.

Point Brulee, NB - big and weirdly shaped. good. mild taste

Ninegret Cup, RI - small, not that good this time, though. bland

Wianno, MA - medium sized, good overall, Toby's fav

Chef Creek, BD, more flavor, small and fishier, my fav

Center: Belon (the cream of the bivalve crop). Clockwise from top left: Bluepoint (tasty and relatively cheap), Kumamoto (a good beginner's choice), Moonstone (the pride of Rhode Island), and Wellfleet (straight from the Cape).

Wellfleet - always good

Sabavi - good texture, small

Blue Points - big, not very good.

Ninigret - well-balanced
