Today, we decided to venture out to the town of Duxbury, famous for its oysters. By the time we got there, it was already lunchtime, so we decided to have lunch at The Oysterman, a small but chic seafood restaurant in town.
We got the MILLBROOK MAI TAI (white and dark rum, pomegranate liqueur, orgeat syrup, lime juice, pineapple juice, fresh squeezed orange juice),
the BUTTERMILK FRIED OYSTERS (lightly breaded oysters, chipotle aioli),
the OYSTERS ON THE HALF SHELL (freshly shucked oysters from duxbury and beyond),
the BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH (buttermilk battered chicken breast, mayonnaise, house brined pickles, hand cut fries),
and the SHRIMP AND LOBSTER SCAMPI (roasted tomatoes, mushrooms, scallions, roasted garlic, herb white wine sauce over fresh linguine).
Pretty expensive meal, but really tasty with great presentation. The drink was excellent when mixed, the oysters really fresh, the chicken tender, yet juicy and crispy, while there was lots of lobster meat in the pasta.
From here, it was on to exploring a few places in town,
From here, we proceeded to the Powder Point Bridge area at the junction of Powder Point Avenue and King Caesar Road,

and we went on a slow drive across the long wooden bridge.
Thankfully today, we were allowed to head toward
Gurnet Light in Plymouth on the long rocky road there without stickers as it is still spring. Unfortunately, due to the no trespassing signs, we decided to stop short of going to the lighthouse by car,
so I did the trek there myself.
before calling it a day and heading back. Of course, when in Duxbury, we had to buy some fresh oysters from the
Island Creek Oysters Retail Shop in town.
Unfortunately, we did not have shucking knives at home, so we had to resort to boiling the oysters to get them to open. Oh well. At least we had a good time in Duxbury today.
