50 States, 50 Sizzling Dishes: The Ultimate Foodie Road Trip Through The USA
Oysters from Virginia
Virginia’s official slogan, “Virginia is for Oyster Lovers,” isn’t just clever marketing—it’s an ode to a deep-rooted passion. The state boasts eight distinct oyster regions, each with unique flavor profiles and harvesting traditions.
But how do these briny beauties get enjoyed? While Virginia oysters shine raw, slurped straight from the shell, a crowned favorite emerges: the oyster po’boy: a crusty baguette cradling plump, fried oysters nestled in a bed of crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, and a creamy remoulade sauce. So, ditch the fancy cutlery next time you’re in the state and grab an oyster po’boy. Just remember, napkins are mandatory!
