Went to the West Side to visit my In-laws who have water front property on the Hood Canal and we decided to take some Oysters home for the Seahawks game. There are hundreds of oysters at their house and since my wife and I are the only ones who eat oysters, we only took what we can eat, 24 oysters. The nice thing about getting oysters at my In-laws is it only takes a few minutes which is a good thing since it was raining. I grilled some of them and will enjoy some fried Oysters tonight.

If you get a chance to get fresh oysters, they sure do taste great this time of the year.

very nice, i used to go to hood canal to dive and would collect Oysters while there.
You should probably check the regs though, I believe you are not allowed to take the shells from the beach.

Ruffneck you are correct, if I picked the oysters from a PUBLIC BEACH then yes I would be limited to 18 oysters and I would be required to schuck them on the beach. However, I am on a PRIVATE BEACH and the rules don't say I have to schuk them on the beach as well as I don't have a daily limit. Look under private tidelands in the regs.

The best oysters to be had are from Hoods Canal in the winter! I used to go down to Seabeck every year in December & January, at night, & collect a bunch. We were on private property, & like you indicated, we could bring them home in the shell & without a limit. They were the best oysters I've ever had! I'm envious!!
