Where, oh where has our #BlueEyes been. It seems that we haven’t heard from her for some time now.

Rest easy because a recent visit to Sea Level Oyster Bar & Kitchen at Pickering Wharf is in the books. Seasoned Nachos with a crabmeat dip, followed by Fried Oyster Tacos made for a good lunch.

The Adventures of our One With Blue Eyes continues.

Best Espresso Martini? According to the big contest hosted by the good folks at Sea Level Oyster Bar & Kitchen a few days back, it’s made by the Master Publicans at Village Tavern Salem.

This is worth exploring.

While the Boston Celtics were being administered a home court spanking a few nights ago, #SonOfAnExpletive decided to enjoy a meal at Sea Level Oyster Bar & Kitchen.

The lower level was in play due to a private function on the upper level. No worries though, it was good to be able to avoid the stairs.

Fresh Oysters were the starter of course. Six total, two each from the specials menu. Oysters are similar to wines in how they are perceived. Some people have palates that can differentiate one from the other, but many couldn’t separate one from the other on a bet. Our man is one of the latter, but he greatly enjoyed them nevertheless. See the last photo for details on the origin of each oyster.

Pizza was the following course. Crab & Old Bay jumped right off the menu. Crab on a pie? Why not? Old Bay seasoning? That’s different. This seemed a shot worth taking. Red sauce, mozzarella, and chili garlic aioli completed the pizza. It was a very good pie, made even better by the fact that the Sea Level team makes their own dough fresh daily.

The Celtics lost, but the meal was a winner.
