Oyster update

Checked on the oysters today, a cool and blustery day after a front came through after dark last night.  We had some Rappahannock River oysters, some Stingray Point oysters and some Old Salts yesterday at Merroir  at Locklies.  One delicious one had two babies on his back so I brought them home to lie in my oyster pot.  I checked up on it though it has only been two weeks since the last checkup.  They look fine, about 2-2.5" in size.  

I also put the crab pots out just before sunset last night.  Remarkably, we have seven crabs at noon the next day.  Sweet red pepper and crab soup?  or just pick them?  This may be the last crabbing of the season, this first full day of Fall.
