Dad Chung ordered his second steamed mussels meal of the week. Owen's mussels definitely was the winner of that mussel war. They were fresh and tasty.
I am a fan of Owen's but it wasn't until my second trip there that I was convinced of its appeal. My first encounter was good because of the snails but not-so-good because of my shrimp and grits. Wanted more grits and less shrimp. I knew I wanted to go back and give Owen's a second chance when I saw the table next to ours that had this HUGE bucket of seafood that looked oh-so-good.
Huge bucket of seafood=Low Country Boil for two crab legs, shrimp, mussels, clams, andouille sausage, potatoes and corn.
My partner-in-crime for this huge bucket of seafood was another tiny friend, Erin. We both may be small in stature but not small in appetites. With a tiny bit of help from other friends, we managed to finish the entire contents of our bucket. Our waitress was pretty impressed. I was happy with a full belly of buttery seafood yumminess. Every item in the bucket was amazing. The seafood was so fresh and tasty and I guess anything with butter is destined to be pretty great.
almost finished! |
all gone! |
Oh and I forgot to mention, friends and I all partook in the eating of raw oysters for the full seafood experience. I've never been a huge fan of raw oysters but I bit the bullet and tried them. Not as slimy as I thought they'd be and actually kinda good (when doused in some tasty gingery sauce).
