We're in the OBX for the week and there are many seafood shops still open. Today we picked up two dozen right-out-of-the-bay oysters, a beautiful flounder filet and a pound of large shrimp ($3.99/lb!).

This evening, we had the flounder in a Francese style: the fish was sautéed in white wine, butter and capers. The filets were served with yellow rice cooked in chicken broth and steamed asparagus.

Tea and holiday cookies for dessert.
