Great idea Dave...

I love oyster on the half shell sitting in a bed of ice with a drop of lemon and a drop of Tabasco....could eat a couple dozen of those with a cold Heineken or two.

I used to scuba dive up around Desolation Sound in BC...we would spear a Ling cod and then pick some mussels off the rocks and a few oysters. The search around for a big crab...some clams....then have a shore lunch or dinner.

One of my favorite finds on the bottom up that way was sea cucumbers. They look like big slimy slugs. We would bring up a gunney sack full and then the fun started...clean them as follows:

cut the ends off and disgourge all the liquid and guts inside. Then cut one side open all the way laying the big tube out flat. There are 4 muscles inside that you strip off. These look like scallop meat...cut up and deep fry like clam strips....mmmmmmm
