Neptune’s Galley – Streak’in Oysters

Those of you who have been in NC for a while may remember Neptune’s on Western Blvd.  A great seafood restaurant with giant and delicious onion rings.  We get to see the owner’s son, Hunter Dipsy when we shop for groceries and he shared this recipe with us.  Said it was always a hit at the restaurant and was created back in the 70’s.
