Monday evening during my short stay in Galway, I went out for a meal with a friend who lives in the town to Morans Oyster Cottage, a seafood restaurant in Kilcolgan, a short drive from the city.
For the first course, we both treated ourselves to a “taster plate” of Native and Pacific oysters. They’d come fresh from the Clarenbridge oyster bed, a short distance away. Delicious!
There were photographs on the wall of famous visitors who’d visited the restaurant, including a certain Seamus Heaney, who’d left his calling card
a hand written note of his poem, Oysters.
A pity about the reflections in the photo which makes one of the words (starlight) illegible – but if you want, you can read the poem here
A treat in more than one way!
Oh lucky you 🙂
sigh!
