Get Shuckin’
Sandy’s Oysters Rockefeller
Happy National Oysters Day
To celebrate National Oysters Rockefeller Day, here's my dad’s version but I promise each time he makes something it’s slightly different. Last summer on a trip home to Virginia Beach, he taught my husband how to make his infamous Oysters Rockefeller. My dad was certainly in his element as he went about pulling this recipe together. There’s no written recipe, so I watched from the sidelines and captured via photos while my husband took notes. It was a shuckin’ good time!
