Fisherman's Festival Coming Up


The 36th Annual Bodega Bay Fisherman’s Festival is coming up next weekend April 4 & 5, from 10 AM to 5 PM. It's a big deal and we're looking forward to attending for the first time this year.

The event includes Live Music, Wine Tasting, Seafood, Food Booths, Beverages, Crafts Fair, Exhibits, Children’s Events, Kite Flying, and Raffle Prizes. SPECIAL EVENTS: Golf Tournament, Boat Challenge, Parade of Pets, Llamas on Parade, Boat Parade, and Blessing of the Fleet.

We’ve had lots of family visiting from out of town to celebrate my husband’s birthday this week so I haven’t had much time to blog. We enjoyed some wonderful meals at the Bay View Restaurant in Bodega Bay and Nick’s Cove in Marshall.

We also barbequed delicious Hog Island oysters here at home. We cleaned and shucked the oysters first, then placed them in the shell on the hot grill and topped them with a dollop of Smokey River Barbeque Sauce and some garlic parsley butter. Wow, they were incredible. PC couldn’t cook them fast enough, people were lining up and eating them hot off the grill!

That barbecue sauce is outta this world. Whenever my sister comes up from Southern California, she always picks up a few bottles at Valley Ford Market to take back home with her. And my daughter, who usually doesn't like barbecue sauce at all, LOVES this one.

We’re looking forward to the "Fish Fest" next weekend and hope to take some good photos to share.
