The Ultimate Oyster Experience--Nighttime, Low Tide, "Walrus & Carpenter Picnic" on Taylor Shellfish Oyster Beds Benefitting the Puget Sound Restoration Fund.
Event
Walrus & Carpenter Oyster Picnics on Taylor's Totten Inlet Oyster Beds--the Ultimate Oyster Experience.  January 17th and February 16th.

"O Oysters come and walk with us, a pleasant talk, a pleasant walk, upon the briny beach..."

Hosted by Taylor Shellfish Farms as a benefit for the Puget Sound Restoration Fund, the Walrus & Carpenter picnics provide the ultimate oyster-eating experience, one by which all others will be judged."We are pleased and honored to join with Taylor Shellfish on this popular and unique event as a way to have fun on the beach while drawing attention to important habitat and water quality issues", says Betsy Peabody, Executive Director of the Restoration Fund.

Lewis Carroll's "Walrus & Carpenter", a whimsical tale about how the Walrus and the Carpenter lure the oysters for "a pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, upon the briny beach" and then proceed to eat every one, provided the inspiration, says organizer, Jon Rowley.

Walrus and Carpenters depart  on the Oyster Bus for the 1 1/2 hour ride to Totten Inlet at 6:30 pm from Taylor's Queen Anne Oyster Bar 124,Republican St returning around midnight. To instill a sense of adventure, the Oyster Bus goes whatever the weather.
Walruses and Carpenters are advised to dress for warm and dry.

The "picnic" takes place by lantern and moonlight on Taylor's Totten Inlet oyster bed on a low minus tide at night in the middle of the winter. An  icy gust of wind off the bay invigorates the experience. Plump, sweet, perky oysters just rousted from their beds and opened on the spot, and award-winning oyster wines served in Reidel stemware make for just the right mix of magic and madness. When the tide starts coming in, there is a bonfire and a cup of Xinh Dwelley's hot oyster stew before getting back on the bus.

The cost of $125 per person benefits the Puget Sound Restoration Fund. Tickets available through Brown Paper Tickets include the round trip bus to Totten Inlet, entertainment, shucking lessons, Olympia, Shigoku, Pacific and Totten Inlet Virginica oysters served with winners of the Pacific Coast Oyster Wine Competition.

Note: Our Walrus Carpenter Picnic predates and is not associated with the excellent Walrus and Carpenter restaurant.
