​Calling all food lovers!!  Anyone looking for great food deals during the week?


After all, who doesn't like the "chef's special" or "special of the day"; Especially now that the kids are back in school and everything is go go go! Wouldn't it be nice to have some great food you don't have to cook at a great price?  Well, listen up… I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy the nightly specials at Julington Creek Fish House and Oyster Company at Bartram Walk. 


Monday
Let's take Mondays for example, you've carted around everyone all weekend, so why not take a break and stop in and get yourself a pound of the juiciest crab legs for a fraction of the cost. Big tender crab drenched in warm butter. I personally need to have at least 2 pounds because they are that good. 


Tuesday
Or Tuesday after dropping the kids off at practice, or stopping off from work for a quick break. All-you-can-eat SHRIMP! and it comes in three different ways.  Grilled or Blackened both skewered and cooked to perfection. Or lightly breaded and deep fried to golden deliciousness. And guess what, you can try them all!  Just start off with one kind and work your way through all three after all it is all you can EAT.  


Wednesday
Hump day (Wednesday) Fresh Oysters on sale! along with sipping a cool glass of white wine sounds like the perfect hump day to me!  I love them raw with a little lemon, horseradish, and just a little melted butter…crazy I know but so so good. Lightly steamed for my second batch (yes they are that cheap) with melted butter and topped off with a dab of cocktail sauce served up on a cracker. My Hump day is complete!


Thursday
Of course, this former New Englander's ultimate favorite is Thursday Lobster nite. A full steamed lobster with a side, you can't buy it and make it yourself for what they charge you here..and guess what… there is no mess for you to clean! Winner!  


Personally, I like to dive right in there cracking and pulling out that tender juicy lobster, dipping it in the butter, and plopping it into my mouth so fast that the butter dribbles down my chin.  Trust me not one part of that lobster ever gets wasted! It all goes into my happy belly. 


I would be remiss if I didn't mention their homemade sides.  I know they are an afterthought from the main course but the ones here at the Fish & Oyster Co, someone must've told them that we ain't serving no average sides, I mean grilled asparagus tossed in Steak butter, topped with parmesan and fried onions, or how about their flame grilled broccoli topped with chimichurri...are you kidding me chimichurri? and my ultimate favorite fried rice, green onion, carrots, and peppers topped with Nori, and fried garlic, outta this world. 


So cash in on those nightly specials at the Julington Creek Fish House and Oyster Co, you won't be disappointed.
