There is a grill in the back. Someone will need to bring charcoal and lighter fluid. It can get windy so getting the grill started Can be a challenge. In the past we have grilled burgers and hot dogs and then people brought things like water chips etc. There is a refrigerator that we were able to use in the past.

Took a look at this venerable Weber today in preparation and she's listing badly to starboard. Torpedo or coastal oxidation? Hard to say, but she's done. The weather looks unforgiving for grilling but there's a sheltered area just off the staff lounge that might be out of the wind. If one of you folks would like to be the grillmaster, I'll bring my Weber and furnish the charcoal and starter, as well. For those contributing to the potluck, there is refrigeration available on site and although there are picnic tables outside, we'll likely be using the tables and chairs in the lounge. I'll come out around 12 and send word through the PA. It's been three years since I hosted a PNWMAS meeting and I'm looking very much forward to it. Holler with any questions!

Layton Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 For anyone buying for the potluck, I can't miss an opportunity to eat at my favorite restaurant on the Oregon Coast, Local Ocean Seafoods. Please don't include us in the headcount if buying food, I don't want it to go to waste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itotiani Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Sad I can't make this one, but hopefully next year. Excited to meet some of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 [language filter], as one of 2 groups of people that came to the one a couple years ago, I'm truly jealous of this. I won't be able to make it, but I sure wish I could. Such an incredible facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntoTheMystic Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 So, it sounds like folks are thinking about fresh albacore, Rockfish fish and chips, oysters from just upriver and other righteously fresh and delicious seafood rather than potluck. And who can blame them? As long as you're on the coast, why not tuck into the ocean's bounty? So, should I not bring the grill, charcoal and accelerant? Up to you folks, really. I'm good either way. Just want to make sure that I cover my host responsibilities properly. Please let me know this evening so I can plan accordingly in the morning. See you soon! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkibabee Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I guess I won’t bring anything either since sounds like I’d be missing out if I didn’t eat locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, word that there was a pod of orca in the Bay today flew around HMSC like wildfire. Not a great day to be a pinniped calf in Yaquina Bay, though. And you really do want to eat locally even though, as you all know, PNWMAS potlucks are not to be missed. Hopefully, next year we'll have more agreeable grilling conditions and we can have the potluck and fish right out of the water. 🍴! Local Ocean is on the eastern bayfront and is great. One of the best kitchens in town. Can also recommend South Beach Fish Market close to HMSC at the south end of the bridge. Tempura fresh catch and some house-smoked delicacies. I'd go for the salmon candy at this joint as a side to your entree. Rustic and coastal but very fresh catch. For linen and a higher ticket average, check out Clearwater, also on the bayfront and also a respectable kitchen. If you want to watch the wind and waves thrash the shore from your table, Georgie's is on the ocean side. Food and kitchen are decent and it's next to a hotel right on the shore if you're coming down for an overnight. High tide is right at dinnertime and this'd be a good place to order an extra round or two and watch the waves. For breakfast the next morning, you really should plan on going to La Maison, just off 101 to the east. Small green house with a double handful of tables. You really can't go wrong on this menu. Oh yeah, homemade English muffins.......... I'll see you folks at 12! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
