Magical Oyster Roast

The Magic of an Oyster Roadt explained by Lori Baden

Magical Bluffton Oysters

Honestly, before I moved here, I’d eat an occasional oyster on a half shell. But it generally wasn’t my thing.

Until I moved here, and experienced the magic and beauty of an oyster roast bringing together friends and communities. It’s hard to explain but it is such a bonding experience. The closest thing I can compare it to, is communion at a church.

It’s one of the things I’ve missed most since the pandemic started, but last night, I finally had the opportunity to enjoy once more with a few select friends outdoors.

Lowcountry Communion -aka Oyster Roast

As I watched good friends enjoy the fabulous Bluffton oysters, and some great Lowcountry Boil I must add, I just took it all in. The food, the smells, the sights, the laughter and the friendships. I realize how blessed we are to live in such a glorious place with magical experiences. God is good.

Steaming oysters is an art form.

The rivers, marsh grass, docks and yes… even the pluff mud, call to my soul.  Are they calling yours?
