Dozen Grassy Bar Oysters

Quick visit to Giovanni's seafood in Morro Bay and a dozen local oysters for $15, then pre dinner shucking and tasting of raw oysters with either a squeeze of lemon or a dash of mignonette made with shallots, white balsamic and a dash of sweet white balsamic reduction.... Grassy Bars have a deep narrow shell and are medium size with quite a briny zing to them... this is how they are described: "Grassy Bar Oyster hits the palate with a strong, briny flavor of salt and the ocean followed by the unmistakeable freshness of garden cucumber and a lingering wet-river-stone minerality." Note that I had already downed four before I thought to take a photo!
