Great weather and yummy oysters draw thousands to Apalachicola Oyster Cookoff

Thousands of people came out Saturday to take part in the 6th annual Oyster Cook-off to raise money for the Apalachicola Volunteer Fire Department.

The weather was warm enough so people could sit outside, listen to live music, and enjoy the aromas of the various oyster dishes.

There were 8 entries in the cook-off, and dishes varied from oyster chowder and casserole to a number of "in the half-shell" dishes.

No two were the same.

The day went to John Solomon and Team Chambers with their Bacon-Wrapped Spinach Oysters.

Second place went to Jeff Ilardi for his sunrise oysters, and third place went to Southwest Oysters from Allen & Sam.

Total earnings have not been tallied – but all of the money will help the Apalachicola Fire Department.
