We had a great time serving our smoke oysters at the St. Mary's County Oyster Festival. We offered a butter, garlic, hot sauce called the Mermaid and then a onion, smoked gouda, maple bacon called Pearl. The combo meal with 3 of each flavor was by far our most popular item. I really can't choose which one I like better. The team steamed, shucked, topped, smoked, and served 26 bushels of oysters over the two day event. We had a great time. Big thanks to US Oyster Festival in St. Mary's County for having us, and for all who came out and supported us.
