wellfleet oyster sauce on the half shell
My husband has an Oyster Grant in Wellfleet, MA. They are the most prized in the world. Wellfleet has an Oysterfest every year in this small coast town. Draws thousands of people that can't get enough of the sweet oysters grown here. This recipe comes from a local seafood shack down here in Orleans, MA called: Land Ho! This is the sauce they put on them.
