We ate plump Tiverton oysters for Christmas and at the first post-New Year's market (
Wintertime Farmers' Market, 1005 Main Street Pawtucket) I bought South County oysters from
Matunuk (and fresh flounder, only way to get it). Good taste is essential but
Matunuk oysters also score points for looks, inside and out - they are plump and fill up the shells in a pleasing way and the outside shells are clean. Last year we had a giant bag of Cuttyhunk oysters which were so grubby (not to mention stinky due to a few bad ones) it tooks hours to clean them. In-house cleaner/shuckers appreciate
Matunuk oysters.
For
New Year's Eve, alas, no oysters, just a nine-course fish-centered extravaganza at
Fiaschetteria in Venice. Great fun from soup to panettone (the best ever) and prosecco.
After eating
Matunuk oysters and fish, it's time to visit the restaurant -
Matunuk Oyster Bar (629 Succotash Road South Kingstown, RI 401-783-4202)
