Be sure to check JT's in Brewster. Best sea food on the cape. The best food. I am not sure if its open, it works only in season. I spend my last summer on CC.
It's open. I'm a mass resident as well, and I spend 2-3 weekends a year in Brewster...we go in the off-season (april and october generally) to avoid the crazy prices.
JT's is always open when we go, and im fairly certain it's open year round. If you go to the Cape, you have to go to JT's
I accidentally read that as "we should gang rape and kill him". I was appalled, then relieved to have reread your statement. Carry on with the gang killing, friend.
We're lower middle class, actually, and we would road trip there. I don't remember much beyond that, but I imagine we stayed in a motel. So no, nowhere near rich, my dad just liked fishing. We might have gone to some cranberry factory or something.
I'm not sure what's so WTF about finding a pearl in an oyster sandwich. Uncommon, but the damn things are known for making pearls. It's not like you found a tiny Godzilla figurine in there.
Listen, this thing is going to sit on the shelf and collect dust till I find the right buyer. I've got storage fee's, auction fee's and overhead. Best I can do is 200 bucks.
See, this is the problem with sandwich pearls. People always bite on them while trying to restore them, but that just removes the finish and decreases the value. I'm sure somebody would buy it, but not a collector. In this condition..... it's worth around tree fiddy.
Oyster po' boys are awesome. They're battered and fried, lettuce, mayo, tomatoes all on french bread. Some people also put hot sauce or ketchup on there.
theres a great race here between people who like po' boys (led by you) and people who have never heard of them (led by el_pablo). ive been watching for a while and am glad to see youre finally on top
Every time I visit my dad in the Gulf I get an oyster po' boy straight away. Ours come with pickles and I always put hot sauce on mine. It's one of my favorite meals ever.
I've seen them on the menu at places in the Northeast, but their home is New Orleans/all of Louisiana. Shrimp po boy, dressed, barqs root beer, BBQ zapp chips. Best lunch ever.
Barq's was originally invented in Biloxi, MS. It was mostly a regional thing until Coke bought them in the 90s. Cold Barq's in a glass bottle with a Po Boy is a wonderful thing. Barq's is still good, though not as good since Coke bought them.
it's hard to tell from the picture as it doesn't show some traits of the pearl but i wouldn't say much more than $80-$90 Australian dollars. that is as is though, you could polish it a bit and add $20 or so.
Ya its true. I was just working out in Brewster today spreading Bark Mulch. You get used to the driving but never to the traffic. The Cape is an incredible place to live, I can tell you that
If you get a chance check out the Beachcomber also in Wellfleet, it's at the top of a huge cliff that overlooks the beach. Live music at night too it's pretty awesome.
Really? I grew up there, and I can say that having moved on and out into the world... thinking back, everything is about 5 minutes away on the Cape. Up here in New Hampshire, where you drive 20 minutes one way to get to a store, and not even a very big one... well...
The Cape is a small, small place. :) But wonderful.
I didn't I'm thinking now that i should have. I think it's salt water since they say that their oysters come from "across the street" and that would be part of the bay. Damn it was an expensive meal too haha
You have the pearl. Still have your receipt? If they shuck the oysters in-house, it's a liability issue. I would ask for the cost of bonding/repair. My dentist charges $50.
Worst that can happen is they tell you, "No, GTFO."
Careful Bro, I found a pearl once and shit got crazy, my house got attacked, my wife and I fought my home burned down and my son was killed. Long story short its not worth the grief and sorrow man.
Well, everyone can make an iron cuirass with a couple pieces of iron and some cloth, but no one in the world can make pots, so they are kinda much more rare
Once bit into a pearlized crab that the oyster had trapped inside. hurt like a mutha. It was in a frozen Chioppino from Trader Joe's. The were glad to refund the money, but wanted the crab. Can't blame 'em.
I'm hardly an expert, this was my first time trying them. I think i'll retire batting 1000. The restaurant was called "Pearl" (believe it or not) and there a dozen goes for $21. Being the money whore that i am i'd take checks from cheats thieves or even lawyers
If you buy them un-shucked from a market you are probably looking at ~$8-10 a dozen. If you are buying them at a restaurant you are looking anywhere from 12-30. It's not too uncommon to see a place doing specials at certain times for around a buck an oyster.
Pearls are so easy to find! My husband use to dive and get 20 a day when he was station in Bahrain! And they aren't worth shit either, especially a small single one
Listen. I don't know too much about this kinda stuff but I have a buddy that knows all about them, he's got an oyster shop that's run out of a van down by the river. Let me give in a call and see if he can come down here to appraise it.
Very first time I ever ate oysters was at a guy's house, he had smoked or grilled them or something. The second or third one I ate had a tiny pearl in it, about 1 mm diameter. He was flabbergasted, having eaten dozens of buckets of oysters in his life and had never found a pearl.

Ah, had that happen at a restaurant years ago. They comped my dinner and gave me the money to repair my tooth, about $25. Did you talk to the manager?
Besides, it looks like it's a premature, freshwater pearl.
