A mystery ailment is decimating them and damaging an entire profession… It’s a veritable massacre that began in 2008, when a new oyster made its appearance: the Triploid.

  • I remember oyster picking in the Puget sound when I was a kid. That was 40 years ago. But the way people in Seattle treat their environment I can see why. Most of the tall evergreen trees in the suburb where I grew up are gone too
  • @pushslice
    I’ve traveled all over the world eating oysters, and I am gonna declare*: Puget Sound varieties are simply unsurpassed on earth! Just incredible nuances/range of flavors, depending on which spot you’re in within a fairly small geography. * don’t agree? come at me bro.
  • @SloopyDog

  • Looks like enough room to do the 3 sisters style like growing geoduck clams and other species with oysters
  • @Delcaniner
