Now
that we
are in the middle of the autumn, the region's oysters have recovered
from spawning and are in wonderful condition, making them firm and sweet.
As with a nice wine, the different seasons and growing areas, or in our case, the growing waters of
different bays, create different tastes. So, as with picking a nice wine,
we want to help you
choose your shellfish
picks for the week selectively from our variety of Oysterific offerings. To make a good pick, simply link to our weekly
