blessed to be invited to an awesome BC Oyster Tasting Event by BC Seafood Festival. Their festival started as one-day event, and now it has grown to be the largest seafood festival in Western Canada. This was their &#8220;oyster tasting&#8221; event in NYC, before the big 13th annual festival in June 2019 in Comox Valley, British Columbia, Canada (you can learn more about it here: <a href="https://bcseafoodfestival.com/">https://bcseafoodfestival.com/</a>). I gotta say, the festival looks pretty amazing!!!!</p> <p>Back to what went on here in NYC&#8230; This was 2-day oyster event, compared to the week-long BC Seafood Festival, and focused on their oysters only. My hubby and I love oysters, so we were very happy to have this opportunity to try out their Canadian oysters! The first BC Oysters Tasting Event was held at Eats on Lex. I&#8217;ve had this spot bookmarked for a few years, but never actually made it here, so I was happy to check out the place.</p> <p><a href="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2682.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-20996" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2682.jpg?resize=194%2C250&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="194" height="250" srcset="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2682.jpg?resize=233%2C300&amp;ssl=1 233w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2682.jpg?resize=768%2C990&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2682.jpg?resize=795%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 795w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2682.jpg?resize=800%2C1031&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2682.jpg?w=1586&amp;ssl=1 1586w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2682.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2683.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-20997" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2683.jpg?resize=193%2C250&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="193" height="250" srcset="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2683.jpg?resize=232%2C300&amp;ssl=1 232w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2683.jpg?resize=768%2C994&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2683.jpg?resize=791%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 791w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2683.jpg?resize=800%2C1035&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2683.jpg?w=1577&amp;ssl=1 1577w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2683.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>The inside was much smaller than I expected, cozy and kind of old-school. I liked all the monochromatic photographs on the walls. Nothing too fancy, just the things that we need at a restaurant. The staffs were nice and welcoming. We arrived a bit early, so the hostess told us that we can sit at the bar and wait.</p> <p><a href="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2685.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-20998" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2685.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2685.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2685.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2685.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2685.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2685.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2685.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2686.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-20999" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2686.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2686.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2686.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2686.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2686.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2686.jpg?w=1278&amp;ssl=1 1278w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>They had a fully stocked bar, and a happy hour for drinks and oysters here.

None other than international oyster shucking champion and Guinness Book World Record holder, Shucker Paddy! The area they had the oysters and shucking station set up was pretty dark, but that was no issue to him. He confidently said &#8220;I can shuck in the dark&#8221; which made me giggle&#8230;LOL.</p> <p><a href="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2694.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21004" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2694.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2694.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2694.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2694.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2694.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2694.jpg?w=1278&amp;ssl=1 1278w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2696.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21005" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2696.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2696.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2696.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2696.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2696.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2696.jpg?w=1276&amp;ssl=1 1276w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>Mr. Patrick McMurray, a.k.a. Shucker Paddy, is a professional Oyster Shucker, but so much more than that. He is also an Oyster Sommelier, publican and owner of Toronto Restaurant <em>The Ceili Cottage</em>. Since he shucks about 4,000 oysters a week (I know!!!) on the bar at the restaurant and through catering, shucking oysters came natural to him. No wonder he can shuck in the dark!</p> <p><a href="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2697.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21006" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2697.jpg?resize=259%2C275&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="259" height="275" srcset="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2697.jpg?resize=282%2C300&amp;ssl=1 282w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2697.jpg?resize=768%2C816&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2697.jpg?resize=964%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 964w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2697.jpg?resize=800%2C850&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2697.jpg?w=1203&amp;ssl=1 1203w" sizes="(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2698.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21007" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2698.jpg?resize=244%2C275&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="244" height="275" srcset="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2698.jpg?resize=266%2C300&amp;ssl=1 266w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2698.jpg?resize=768%2C866&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2698.jpg?resize=908%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 908w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2698.jpg?resize=800%2C902&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2698.jpg?w=1133&amp;ssl=1 1133w" sizes="(max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>He had his own shucking tool, and looked really sharp!

Yes I know, the pro oyster eaters would say to stay away from condiments other than a few drops of lemon&#8230;but, I am so used to having my oysters with all the condiments, I couldn&#8217;t help myself. I did indeed have a few oysters with just the lemon drops to really appreciate the natural, delicious flavor of the oysters.</p> <p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2712.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21021" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2712.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2712.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2712.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2712.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2712.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2712.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2712.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2713.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21022" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2713.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2713.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2713.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2713.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2713.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2713.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2713.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>And here is our second dozen of shiny treasure.

So you get the bit of salty flavor in the natural liquor (water in the shell), that compliments the oyster without it being fishy at all.</p> <p><a href="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2719.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21028" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2719.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2719.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2719.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2719.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2719.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2719.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2719.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2720.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21029" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2720.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2720.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2720.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2720.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2720.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2720.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2720.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>And the Canadian oyster goodness didn&#8217;t end there.

Drink them with the oysters? Well, close, but not exactly. What they showed us was quite cool, this is their version of &#8220;oyster shot.&#8221; First, you eat the oyster off the shell, then they poured the Whiskey into the shell. It gets mixed with remaining oyster juice (&#8220;liquor&#8221;) and becomes its own unique concoction. It was really good! The whiskey made the salty &#8220;liquor&#8221; mild and soft, turned the ocean flavor into something new and smooth.</p> <p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2722.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21031" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2722.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2722.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2722.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2722.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2722.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2722.jpg?w=1278&amp;ssl=1 1278w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2721.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21030" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2721.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2721.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2721.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2721.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2721.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2721.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2721.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>Then we tried it with the Gin. We got another oyster, slurped it, and they poured the Gin in the shell. This one was even better. The Unruly Gin is made with British Columbia honey, so it had a touch of sweetness to it. To me, this one was better and easier to go down. I really liked the complex flavor of the salty &#8220;liquor&#8221; and the sweet gin concoction. It was great!</p> <p><a href="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2724.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21033" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2724.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2724.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2724.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2724.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2724.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2724.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https://i1.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2724.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2725.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21034" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2725.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2725.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2725.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2725.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2725.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2725.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2725.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>Needless to say, we had an amazing time at this event!

I loved all the decors, reminiscence of the days from hundreds of years ago. I wondered how many of these things on the walls are actual antiques??? They had a good amount of seating, but I felt that they didn&#8217;t have enough servers&#8230; They are very fast, but I am not sure about &#8220;efficiency&#8221; though (our server didn&#8217;t let us order the Canadian oysters at first, and also, he forgot our order later on&#8230;).</p> <p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2738.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21046" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2738.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2738.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2738.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2738.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2738.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2738.jpg?w=1276&amp;ssl=1 1276w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2739.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21047" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2739.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2739.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2739.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2739.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2739.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2739.jpg?w=1278&amp;ssl=1 1278w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>At this event, I was able to get some more quality time with Shuck Paddy, and also, I got meet with the Grand Central Oyster Bar &amp; Restaurant Executive Chef, Sandy Ingber.

We of course said yes! So they brought a plate full of oysters for us. Seven oysters for good luck. Even though we were quite full after that, we still felt really good since they were nice and light. And oysters can help transport oxygen throughout your body, improving your energy! Last but not least, it is said that oysters can help lower cholesterol, so eating oysters has sooooo many health benefits!</p> <p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2764.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21066" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2764.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2764.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2764.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2764.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2764.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i0.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2764.jpg?w=1278&amp;ssl=1 1278w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> <a href="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2767.jpg?ssl=1"><img class="alignnone wp-image-21067" src="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2767.jpg?resize=260%2C195&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="260" height="195" srcset="https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2767.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2767.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2767.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2767.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https://i2.wp.com/www.foodlovergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_2767.jpg?w=1278&amp;ssl=1 1278w" sizes="(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p> <p>We had such amazing time at both events at Eats on Lex and Grand Central Oyster Bar &amp; Restaurant.  <a href="https://bcseafoodfestival.com/">BC Seafood Festival</a><span style="display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #333333; cursor: text; font-family: -apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,'Helvetica Neue',sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> had done wonderful job promoting their festival and especially their oysters!
