This is my second time coming here. They are now open even on Tuesday and Wednesday. I try other things this time.
Mussel and Bacon Potato Salad.
The salad is made with red spicy cream sauce. The mussel is very tasty and fresh with the bacon and pepper bits. This potato salad is the gourmet version of a potato salad.

Cod Fish Sandwich $6
I have ask to separate it so it will not get soggy through time. The fish is again very fresh and spicy. You cannot go wrong with sauteed onions. My only complain is I wish the fish can be a bit bigger.

Ciabatta Bread
This is the base of all their sandwiches. However not every batch is made fluffy. For example, this time I found the bread not too fresh. It is quite hard in comparison to the first time I have it.

Oyster P-Boy $9
I LOVE this sandwich. The Oyster is so fresh and strong that I know will throw off some people. Again, the two Oyster is the right balance with the ciabatta bread. DELICIOUS!

Homestyle BBQ

Yellow and Green Zucchini, Fish Ball, Beef Ball, Shrimp.
The first batch always turns out to be burnt.

Kabob style with spicy Asian style Satay Red Sausage.

Cajun Style Turkey Wing. It is ten times bigger then a regular chicken wing. It is more chewy then chicken meat, not as greasy but just as juicy. It is definitely a very healthy alternative, and it does not taste anything worst then chicken.

Lovely yummy Grill of Lamb, Kabob, and YES.. Smoke Oysters.

That is ceder wood under the Oyster. The fragrance smells so good.

The best watermelon picked by MI.

For those who do not know how to pick a watermelon.
1. It has to be green.
2. The tip of the melon has to be small and dry (dark) a sign of maturity, determine sweetness.
3. Pat it to feel the vibration. If it vibrate well which means there is a lot of water inside.

How crazy is it to travel a far distance just to get a lunch sandwich? Well, not too crazy if you are going for a Whalebone experience.
This is 100% a fish market, just happens to also make sandwiches. They provide a brown bag lunch special Thursday thru Saturday from 11am to 2pm. These sandwiches all serve with a square Ciabatta bread, dressed with ranch (i think) mayonnaise mix spread, lettuces and sauteed onion. Gumbo is also available now a day instead of clam chowder. There menu changes depending on the season of the produce.

Today I completely bail on my fitness plan. I had an Oyster-P-Boy Sandwich. For a person who loves to eat, I am ashamed to say, "I have never heard of P-Boy Sandwich".

Po-Boy Sandwich - basically it's a submarine sandwich serve with Louisiana French Bread which has an extremely crispy exterior but with soft and airy center, and is dressed with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise.
It has a couple picnic table outside with some simple deco. Those are Oyster Shells holding the napkins down.

They write your order down along with your name. A detail little thing that make you feel so personal.Oyster P-Boy $9
My huge Oyster sandwich just two of them, but man are they fresh and good. The only complain is one of them has bits of shell in it. Almost chip my teeth, but it will still be worth it for some good food.
Smoke Salmon Sandwich $7.50
I was told it is no competition to the P-Boy, but who can blame them, I am sure it is still very good. Whalebone smoke the salmon themselves.

Overall: Oh I have been craving for a second one every since, that is how good this is. Everything works for me the seafood, the brown bag, the none busy line up, the personal touch, and the price. I will definitely try out all the food.
