oyster harvesting
I happened to come across these oysters down at the pier being bagged and putted on pallets. I imagine they are going to market. There are red bags, green and brown bags. I have no idea what the colours mean if they mean anything. I tried oysters many years ago and never liked them.

Curious !
ReplyDeleteTomás.
Never liked them either. But clearly other folks do & that's why these are all ready to go!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who often tells me a few stories about a trip he made to Ireland many years ago. After a visit to the docks they talked to their landlord and were served a great oyster meal the following evening. They also drank a lot of whiskey.
ReplyDeleteSomeone must like 'em. And pay handsomely for them. But not me.
ReplyDeleteLikewise Bill, oysters do absolutely nothing for me - they are the only shell fish which I do not enjoy and I have tried them several times.
ReplyDeleteThey are an acquired taste.
ReplyDeleteWell that's curious Bill, wonder if it's anything to do with size? Not fond of the slippery little suckers myself :)

ReplyDeleteI was never try it, but I think I do not like it, Brrrrrr
ReplyDeleteOysters are not my favourite seafood...
ReplyDeleteI have an aversion to sea food, so I'd avoid these.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan either!
ReplyDeleteAt risk of nauseating everyone else, impeccably fresh oysters are delicious...raw. Most of the time they aren't nearly fresh enough. Otherwise they are, justifiably, a big "e-e-e-w-w-w-w, no thanks."
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of oysters, either. Read the comments above hoping to be informed about the color choices, but with no luck. Do you think each oysterman uses a different color to mark his?
ReplyDeleteEu adoro ostras, delícia!
