‘Bluffed’ by oysters

BEFORE my husband and I starting driving in South Island, New Zealand, we had targeted Invercargill as one of the stops. We were told that one could find the famous local Bluff oysters here. While in a Chinese restaurant, we did see fried oysters on their menu but we were keen to savour the fresh ones directly from the shell, the way we usually do.

We decided to drive a bit south into the town of Bluff itself. We drove around looking for some signboard that would announce the food outlet serving Bluff oysters.
