The Dibba Bay Oyster Oysters from the Desert! Dibba Oyster farm is located 1.5 hours from Dubai - through sand, scrub brush, herds of camel and goat and through Limestone mountains reminiscent of Tatooine - on the Gulf of Oman. 25°36’22”N 56°19’27”E - one would never think… THIS is a great place to set up an Oyster Farm. Well, in 2016, owner/farmer/Entrepreneur Ramie Murray did just that. The Nutrient dense waters come off with a turquoise aquamarine green hue thick with phytoplankton, and still clear to bottom in the marina. The Dibba Marine biologist has identifies over 40 types of plankton that the oysters are constantly feeding on over their 9 month stay at the farm. The Magallana gigas seed is of French origin, Triploid to avoid spawning and thus the Oyster builds meat and shell. Grown in lantern nets - 15-30m in depth - adjusted to avoid warmer waters through the season, there are therefore subtle seasonal differences in taste and texture - Winter and Summer Tasting notes: Plump, crisp first bite, with larger than expected adductor. Delightful frilly ruffle of the mantle, exposing gills upon first shucking. Medium warm salinity (Ramie likes to adjust this seasoning to 28ppm from 34+ in the UV depuration tanks) to open the palate. Mineral and that SeaGreen plankton showing with a sweetness, and light velvety butter within. Very clean sweet greens finish that begs for a second oyster to chase… The Dibba Bay Oyster Bars are built from upcycled SeaCans (Containers) both located on water, and dining al fresco - the only any to enjoy the Oyster. To round out the fresh, light menu…Locally grown (in the desert..) arugula tomato and Burrata Di Bufala salad, Salmon grown and Smoked in the UAE and of Course Caviar to go with your Oysters - or enjoy the Winter/Summer sauces, or just eat them Naked…but keep your clothes on - people are watching… @dibbabay @dibbabay_restaurants @dubai @emirates #dibbabayoysterfestival2023 #Oysters #GlobalOyster #EveryDayOyster #DesertOysters #ShuckingAround #OysterTour #FoodTourism #FoodMedia #Sustainable #Ocean #CleanProtein #OysterTraveller #OysterRoads #MyShuckingLife (at Dubai, United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpoCarDrcgF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Brunching in SouthBeach Miami. One works up an appetite after Shucking 1000 oysters @sobewffest so it’s time for brunch. One of the featured restaurants at the #oysterbash was the newly opened @jolietmiamibeach so we figured, before a flight home we would go Brunching! Fantastic location, beautiful bright, interior and eclectic design. The TunesVibe! Friendly crew and Chef DANNI (Unknown spelling sorry) not only recommends bites like the cornbread and coconut cake, but also serves up the food that she makes, for that personal touch. From the menu we had Crab Louis Salad, a perfect Steak’nEggs - but in my mind the stars were the BBQ Shrimp & Grits (Smokey!) Cornbread (Smoked Lemon/Honey Butter OMG) and the recommended Coconut Cake - lime zest #WickedGood. And of course they have Oysters, Caviar & Seafood Towers - my next #GuestShucking appearance… This is a Must Go… #ShuckinglyYoursPaddy #Brunch #BrunchLife #ChefTravels #FoodTours #Steak #Shrimp #Grits #Cornbread #Oysters #MyShuckingLife (at Miami Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIQnsSLqUc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Great honour to be quoted/posted on the wall @bistro14 - work by @cglassstudio from the OG drawing from the early 2000s #KeepOnShucking #TasteYourOysters #oystersommelier #oystersomm #CloseYourEyesAndTasteTheSea #MyShuckingLife @theoystercompanion @firefly.books @swissmar_official #OysterBlades #Repost @bistro14 ・・・ Oysters are a study in contrasts. They are brilliant and satisfying, a simple slurp that you can enjoy with no thought at all. But they are also full of subtle flavors that invite conversation and sometimes vehement discussion. We serve dozens of varieties of oysters every summer, each one has a story to tell, if you care to listen. To help describe the sometimes marvelous nuances of an oyster, we like to use a flavor wheel, like this awesome drawing of @shuckerpaddy version, done for us by @cglassstudio. #bistro14rawbar #bistro14 #bayvillage #beachhaven #lbi #oysters #flavor #taste #flavorwheel #salty #briney (at Bistro 14 LBI) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bya3_rgBXMj/?igshid=1sp8ep7shk5dk

This is Jacob. @jacobrichler He wrote the 1st review of @starfishoyster that was printed Dec1 2001 - such a wild ride since then. It’s a rare thing as a Restaurateur - to meet the Critic. This is an OG story - pre-Social Media, when the was just…Media Back then, young, fresh Paddy telephoned (landline) the 5 print media Food Editors in Toronto, and left a voice message. “ Hi there I’m Patrick McMurray, I just opened up Starfish Oysterbed Grill at 100 Adelaide St. East. We just opened today Wednesday, November 14th. Please send your food critic. Thanks.” We had barely cooked a StaffMeal let alone full service. Jacob was 1st to arrive, and apparently liked the place….@chefmarthaw cooking, and Oysters…then sent us on our way with a fab review. Many, many, many, stories later, we get together, and talk of many things… Of Oysters & Wine, sealing wax, cabbages & Kings… Thanks Jacob! #AuthenticFoodCritic #EveryonesAcritic #FoodMedia #FoodWriting #Oysters #Shucking #20YearsOfShucking #Toronto #ChefsLife #ShuckersLife #MyShuckingLife (at Pearl Diver) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW3MsbcrxTV/?utm_medium=tumblr
