Ummmm... Oysters


On our first day here in Tassie, MB took Grace and I for lunch at a great restaurant called Barilla Bay Oyster Farm. The oysters were great and so was the food, wine and local produce shop. After stuffing ourselves with food and wine, we got some extra seafood to take home. 2 dozen oysters for $6.50 a dozen ($8.50 opened) and 2 Kilos of Tasmanian blue lip mussel's for $5.50 per kilo. Wunderbar! The oysters come from the water just next to the restaurant and the mussels and scallops come from Sandy Bay, just up the east coast.

We've been back plenty of times since to get more oysters, mussel's and scallops. Barilla Bay is about 10 KM's from Richmond and right next to the Hobart Airport. I'd recommend visiting this place even before going to Hobart, it's that good.
