Oysters

[Memory Maker]

I'll probably get some oysters while I'm down at Cherrystone. Prices should be about the same as last year. Have a call in to my guy. Let me know

Right on the edge of getting really good oysters, it all depends on water temp. Once the water gets over 20 degrees celsius they stop producing meat and start producing sexual gonads. This usaully corresponds to the months of May, June, July and August. Hence the old saying dont eat oysters in a month without an R in the name. From here on out id say EAT EM UP!!! should be good down there by Cherrystone with that high salinity this year. I work at one of the largest Oyster hatcheries on the East Coast and although I dont enjoy them raw, it is about to be prime oyster shucking time!!

Yeah baby ......... and the salty's out of the oyster are great and getting plump ........... they are from an area that the closest pollution is about 30 miles south and 5o miles north and in water that's already filtered by some vast marsh land ........... can REALLY taste the difference .......
