Homeland And All Things Maher

[quote="bamafan" post=347559][quote="Moose" post=347537][quote="bamafan" post=347517]Anyone catch the show Brockmire on IFC with Hank Anzaria? Can't stop saying Brockmire in Brockmire's voice. :lol:[/quote]

Don't derail this Game of Thrones thread ;)[/quote]
Sorry, actually thought I was in the All things Maher thread as I don't even watch GOT but log in so it is marked all things read and I don't have unread posts. LOL Actually I did watch the first season but couldn't keep track of all the families and who was doing what and why, got frustrated and blew it off. I am not one like Maher to rewatch a show more than once to try to figure it out.[/quote] I've seen almost every episode 3 times and I still pick up little new things each time :)
 
Lobster Roll Sunday. Canterbury Ales in Oyster Bay. Surprisingly excellent roll. They have the hot lobster roll this one and Maine style. This one is definitely 9 claw rating [attachment=938]E7EB8C6E-684B-4178-B640-999CD34CEF4A.jpeg[/attachment]

...now I'm envious! Lol.
 
Man MJ, that Canterbury Ales lobster roll looks mouth watering. I missed the Cousins Maine Lobster food truck that was at our local brewery today but did have some great local oysters with poached eggs for brunch on Lake Norman earlier today. A lot easier to find great oysters than great lobster rolls down here, lol.

How much do oysters cost by you at a restaurant ?

It varies and usually see it as an appetizer (either raw or lightly fried). At our favorite local place Kindred in Davidson, for $15 get 8 or 9 fried, very lightly breaded oysters which are delicious. For brunch today (different place), I got 6 pan fried oysters, two poached eggs & potatoes for $14.
But my favorite for oysters is a small place in Isle of Palms, SC (just outside of Charleston) called the Long Island Café, which despite the name is a combination of New England and Southern cuisine. For $23, you can get a huge plate of oysters, half broiled and half pan fried which are wonderful. We got to a beach resort there called Wild Dunes right on the ocean where if you're from the northeast you can swim in the ocean in mid April and you have Charleston less than 30 minutes away with that wonderful low-country cuisine.
But for lobster rolls, better off in NY or NE!

Both of you guys are making me famished! Lol.
Haven't had oysters of lobster in a while.
Sashimi Ahi poke in a local wasabi-based sauce is the 'order of the day' on the Big Island.
Plus, great selection s of local fish, like mahimahi, opah, and ono.
But talk of lobster rolls and pan-fired oysters sound declicious!

Both are mild varieties so ideal with tasty sauces.
Ahi is the prize around here.
Mouth-melting.

Chicago, believe it or not when I lived in NJ, there was a great seafood restaurant in Pepack-Gladstone (central Jersey) called Opah (no longer there), which always had opah on the menu (must have flown it in). Agree it is a delicious mild white fish. Never had ono, but love ahi tuna & mahi mahi, we grilled some Friday night.

That's funny, NCJ.
Yeah opah a very mild-tasting fish.
Ahi is the delicacy here.
Talk about 'fresh'.
Lol.
And a plate of sushi with ginger and wasabi, special as well.
 
The HBO Miniseries Chernobyl is excellent ( if you can get past the fact they are using English Actors ) also really liked the Deadwood Movie last night on HBO

Also enjoying Chernobyl. Interesting chronicling of a minor nuclear event that may or may not have even happened. Soviet Union proved once again that denial is not just a river in Egypt. Finale should be very interesting.

Lobster roll from the clam bar next to the bridge in oyster bay. Little outdoor divey place definitely has clawbiance but lobster roll definitely not that good. For a place like this with such clawtential just put freaking butter on it. 7 claw rating and that’s being generous because the service was good and we got good table [attachment=946]C2A934EC-23F3-44E5-8A79-A62D7ADE802B.jpeg[/attachment]

I’m going to ask you to give up your lobster roll blogger license soon. The LI lobster roll scene is honestly weak. You have nary a review done in New England where the lobster roll is king. I don’t buy for a minute that the birthplace of the lobster roll was on LI, and I’m a LI guy. The history is deep up here. Time for you to start making some trips to hit the “homeland” of lobster rolls Mike...
