it was a nice afternoon so i took mag on a ride in the Gatineau park. the leaves were still green so i headed north in hopes to find more red ones. after an hour of driving we turned back. we stopped by the docks in aylmer and took a nice stroll by the beach.

by dinner time, we went to Big Daddy’s Crab Shack and Oyster Bar. I ordered 7 raw oysters and a fried seafood appetizer with calamari, gator meat, fish and prawns. Maggy ordered the Big Daddy's mixed platter which was very good: king crabs, scallops, garlic roasted jumbo prawns, blackened catfish, grilled veggies and rice. though the presentation was simple, the food immediately got our taste buds excited once it arrived coz everything looked just so succulent and savoury. the condiments were very extensive too: 5 different spicy sauces for the oysters, four different dips, garlic butter heated over a candle for the seafood, and of course, plenty of lemon wedges scattered on every dish. the meals are a bit on the pricy side. the above dishes plus drinks came out to a bit over 80$ plus tips. however, the excellent service and food were worth every penny. .e  22:02
