My boyfriend and I were invited out to the Olympic Peninsula one sunny, early summer weekend to be part of an event joint-hosted by Fjordlux and Helmsman Trawlers, an oyster producer and a recreational boat company, respectively. Initially I pictured a bunch of people sitting at a table eating oysters and drinking wine - but it was a lively, trivia-filled cookout and shucking event combined with a speaker appearance that is now the source of 99.99% of everything I know and will ever know about oysters.
Below: a few favorite shots from the event and its gorgeous marina location -
