Ontario Oyster Festival 2008 - The Oyster King or Queen!

Blogs are OK, I guess, a modern sense of having a garden; You have to maintain them & nurture them, for others that pass by, to see them as interesting. All that thought process is a little too quick, for our Oysters take such time to grow that the Oyster equation of knowledge to result seems so out of whack to the blog equation!

As seen in "The Island" journal press PEI...
The 20th year of the Ontario Oyster Festival is on the 20th of July, Sunday, at Rodney's Oyster House, (ROH) in the Oyster Garden area. That leads to The Canadian Oyster Shucking Competition in Tyne Valley. P.E.I., Friday Night August 1st. That winner represents our country at The World Oyster Opening Championships in Galway Bay, Ireland, Sept. 24th through to the 28th. The actual contest is on the afternoon of the 27th, Saturday!

There are some, over the next year, Oyster opening side shows that have historically happened in The Maritimes, Ottawa, Alberta, Vancouver, and New England, that attract the Oyster knifes of our fair vibrant Oyster eating city but they have dates that move and the details have to be researched. PS - The Crab Crack, in the fall! 

The Ocean is offering less and the actions to eat it every day at a value, do have there liabilities. With our work we focus on sustainability and a relationship of sharing and eating it with the community. The great spirit of the water workers is appropriately translated in ROH by the fact we carry our licenses, to get it right and correctly, giving the best return to the watermen and women in our portfolio of suppliers and we all end up, from wharf to plate, having a pleasant run with it; as our 20 plus year history says!

Your Loyal Oysterman and Crew!
Rodney Clark aka RTC; Rodney's Oyster House; a man among men, the world is your oyster, so shuck it!
