A few weeks ago we went down to the Narooma Oyster Festival...
A road had been blocked off and it was held next to the River...at Riverside Drive...Magnificent Clydesdale horses at the gate...
There were floating sea sculptures...
And of course Oysters...Oyster Shucking demonstrations...
Sea Scallops prepared by the Royal Australian Navy's finest Cooking Cadets...
Sacks behind the Oyster Bar...
And Australia's first Masterchef...Julie Goodwin was there promoting her book...And here I am with Julie...a lovely lady and so down to earth!!!
And of course I had to purchase one...I think you will love this book Micki...Micki and I are going to do a Cook Up from Julie's book sometime over the next few months!!!
Inside the cover...
And the autograph!!!
Inside the food tent there were demonstrations going on...one of which was by Julian Lloyd, Rick Stein's Head Chef at Rick Steins's at Bannisters in Mollymook
Oysters with a (Charantay) Sausage...from memory it might have been made with Pork but not sure now...
Delicious Seafood Platter...For more pics on the food at the Festival hop on over to my other blog My Dolce Vita...
After that we drove downtown and spotted this Hotel with a Million Dollar View at Narooma...
The view...
A slice of the cheesecake...
Rustic Potatoes...
Then off for a drive and have a look at the ocean...
And look we found this playful seal...so cute!!!A great day...spent much of the time spent in the Food Tent!!!

I would have loved to meet Julie...I was cheering her to victory, and I was thrilled when she won.I will get her book over the summer, and then we can start making some recipes. Of course, mine won't look like yours, but it will be fun anyways.LOL
Julie does look like a doll!

Dzintra, that sounds like a wonderful day out! This kind of food is not my favorite..., even if I'm going to have octopus for dinner today. I'd love to taste the cheese cake and rustic potatoes! :) I love the photos of the rugged coastline - where is it (on the map)?
an oysterfest would be the best way to try them prepared in different ways. im near a fresh water lake so no oysters close by.
great ocean shots!

Recovering from a bout of Gout ( first ever bought on by taking a new Bllod Pressue tablet for 6 months ) I am appreciating your lovely photos with all that SHELL fish which is a no no for gput sufferers.
