Why Oysters?
Oysters are one of the most fascinating foods on earth. They're the only animal we eat alive. Their flavor is a direct expression of their environment—the concept of "merroir" means the same species grown in different waters will taste completely different.
They're also sustainable when farmed properly, filtering water and creating habitat. And they have a rich cultural history spanning thousands of years.
