Brewster Oysters - Best in the World

The oyster farmers are out working on thier grants here in brewster. This is a grant by our home beach. The oysters live here in these cages, grow and fatten during the summer and are ready to harvest during the "e - r" months (SeptembER, OctobER, NovembER, DecembER, JanuarER... and even sometimes FebruarER)

In Florida, the rule was, if the oyster is EVER out of water (ie: lives above low tide mark) steer clear .... I enjoyed a milk carton of oysters with a dude at a bar called Earthquake Magoons once, he just brought them in and offered to share ....

yeah ... nobody else was eating them. never so sick.

Later, the others in the bar explained this halfwit picked them off the beach and "shared" them
