Oysterville Sea Farms is situated along Willapa Bay and carries everything from Cranny Cranberry Butter to breading so good you could practically bread a rock and it would be tasty-- though shellfish are definitely recommended. All proceeds at the shop go toward restoring and preserving the last oyster cannery in Oysterville, run by Dan Driscoll. Fun fact-- Oysterville is home to the oldest continuously running post office in the state. A designated national historic district, strolling through Oysterville feels a little like stepping back in time. (Image: Chona Kasinger / Seattle Refined)

Oysterville processes oysters to be distributed locally, so no wholesale or commercial business here. The Depot proudly serves their oysters in explosively tasty dishes like their Oysters 'Scargot. (Image: Chona Kasinger / Seattle Refined)

The Depot's Oyster 'Scargot are broiled in garlic lime butter and served with a French baguette. Seeing the source of the food gave us a whole new appreciation of it. (Image: Chona Kasinger / Seattle Refined)

Combine mac 'n cheese and Dungeness crab and what do you get? Something that is very hard to stop eating. The Depot's rendition is made with local wild crab, Cavatappi noodles and three kinds of cheese. This dish is perfect for warming up after a long walk on the beach.
