In my last post, I wrote about fulfilling my oyster cravings. And as the universe would have it, I suppose I will be eating more oysters soon. Specifically Malpeques from PEI. This past weekend, Patrick McMurray, owner of Starfish located at 100 Adelaide Street East by Jarvis Street, and also owner of one of my local hangouts, Ceili Cottage, is now selling Malpeque oysters at Evergreen Brick Works Farmers Market. You can get them unshucked for $1 each and shucked with condiments for $1.25 each. Unbelievable. The Brick Works Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 8AM to 1PM and features a great selection of local produce, cheese, fish and meat – everything you need to make a fantastic weekend meal. I’ll be going this Saturday to check it out myself and effortlessly toss back a few freshly shucked oysters on the spot. See you there.
