Before leaving for Ireland we were joking saying that we would eat at least three oysters every day. Paul and I had the best-ever oysters in Berlin and they were Irish.
So our culinary dreams grew when planning the holidays.
When in Ireland, we soon learnt though, that buying oysters is not easy at all and finding them in a restaurant nearly impossible. (We once had them in a restaurant in the Wicklow mountains thanks to the tip of our guide book).
However, we kept looking for them and one day we passed a fish shop and there they were OYSTERS! Local ones!
We rushed home and prepared and enjoyed them! They were so fresh and salty - it was a feast!

Dear Christa,
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing to me. My mouth is watering looking at those great big Irish Oysters.. you were lucky to have found them.
Here to they are difficult to come across only certain fish restaurants serve them and that is closer to the sea.
I unfortunately have to be satisfied with the tinned ones. Funnily enough, i bought some only the other day. I like to have them with a craker , some cheese and a good glass or red wine.
Lovely post .. I must say Moritz , looks rather charming in his pullover and cap.
Happy Sunday
hugs

Hello Christa
ReplyDeleteThe images are spectacular and in particular the image of Moritz (he could be an ad for Ireland - he is so elegant in his attire). I am happy you found oysters and that they did not disappoint.
Have a glorious week

I have Moritz' newsboy cap!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, I am sitting here with my morning coffee, waiting for the phone to ring. My nephew and his wife, from Arizona, are visiting and although they have to cut their vacation short and pack up their motor-home and head home this morning, they want to take us out to breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy your blog and your photography is amazing. My husband and I ran a photography studio for eight years until I decided to go back to school. I know that most people think that you need a super camera to take great photos. Untrue. If you don't have an eye for light and composition you'll never take good photos no matter what camera you are using. You have a eye for the camera and your shots are spot-on outstanding. I am looking forward to a wonderful blogging friendship.
Have a fantastic day, Connie :)
Good thing you found oysters and beautiful pictures. Have a nice evening.

I'm so glad you found them! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos - unfortunately I think most of the Irish oysters are exported to the top restaurants at home and abroad, but glad you found some.
ReplyDeleteDas war sicher ein traumhater Tag bei Euch :)) Die Austern sehen schmackhaft aus :D
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found some oysters and made your culinary dream come true.
