3 Favorite Insights From Oyster Tasting

(Donedei Winery?) (WA): As a food lover I really enjoy when I get the chance to forage for my own food, it gives the feeling of connected-ness and as a result it tastes better. Although I did find the oyster I shucked it and was the transition vesicle from one life to the next. The first oyster I shucked was the tastiest and most memorable. -Alex

Taylor Shellfish (WA): The air was filled with the smell of the ocean. The oysters were filled with the taste of the ocean. -Maurissa

Bodega Bay (CA): I always thought farming fish or shellfish was a negative practice, harming the quality of life of the oyster. However, here they explained that Instead of dredging the entire ocean floor ecosystem and ruining the habitat, they grow their oysters in floating bags that provide an easy and sustainable way to meet the demand. Now I want to find out if it is possible to feed our populations demand for shellfish without farming and without ruining marine habitats. -Shirley
