A local seafood retailer takes a truck to the coast (Atlantic Beach, 
Beauford, NC & SC) to pick up seafood twice a week so it is fresh from the 
warf plus 
the five our transit time.

Twenty years ago we used to get a basket of oysters, open them on the half 
shell, and eat them raw with a bottle of Corona with a wedge of lime in neck.

No more!  Wouldn't go anywhere near one of those oysters now.
