DiGiammarino & Famiglia Enjoy Oysters

I always appreciate hearing from my readers. Here is a recent email that a reader shared with me:

"Our Christmas celebration included the traditional Italian meal, The Feast of the Seven Fishes. We started our multi-course feast with a sampling of fresh oysters: Onset, Wellfleet, Island Creek and Beach Point. We served the oysters with fresh lemon and a homemade mignonette sauce...delicious. By the way, The New Deal Fish Market in Cambridge, MA is a great place to purchase fresh shellfish."

Happy New Year,

Robin DiGiammarino & Famiglia

Thanks for the email Robin! I look forward to checking out the fish market.
