While I had good intentions of writing earlier, the cool spring gave rise to summer quickly and Ive been on vacation and tending to weeds, with little time to spare. Let me share one my FAVOURITE road trip pit stops EVER (in honour of my pal Kristy who says the blog needs more protein).
If you don't road trip to the Oregon coast regularly, you should. It is known for it's awesome food, micro breweries, surfing, hiking- what else do you need?
Along route 101 just south of Nehalem there is a rustic RV park and Marina, which doubles as an unsuspecting LEGENDARY crab shack.
"Jetty Fishery" serves up the freshest seafood with salty fisherman flare. Crabs & oysters arrive hourly.
I knew I wanted something, judging by the primal style eatting around me, mallets & fingers...However, I felt like a fish out of water standing there in my dirty hippie road gear not knowing how to order. I must have been a common sight, because I was greeted with a sense of humour and was sized up for my appetite.
We ordered 2 crabs to share and 4 oysters (the small ones). There were some the size of my arm. Steamed in bay water, accompanied with Coronas, we basked in the sun and our new find.
