time to sort the farmed oysters down on the pier, different colours for the different sizes.

    Interesting. Colour coding makes sense.

    Interesting photos, I have never known they sort it out in sizes with colours. Very clever.

    One of my favorite types of seafood! The color sorting is interesting.

    I wonder if part of that load will be off to France Bill? As much as I love most things French, oysters are not included ☺

    Somehow, seeing them all packaged up for shipping like this makes them just a bit less appealing and I love oysters.

    Very informative. I had never seen or known how it is done. I just know I love oyesters.

    They harvest clams in Cedar Key, but this is a different way of sorting for sure. Not a bad idea to keep track of large and small.

    It does make sense to colour code the sizes.
    Nice to see your photo series here Bill.

    All the best Jan

    ...green must be the most common size.

    That is a lot of oysters! I wouldn't have imagined them packed up like that. (BTW: I love the idea of sending cards with bits of knitting - and, of course, ones own photography. Kindred spirits!)

    Love this -- so much fun to watch other people work. Also brought back memories of when we would watch similar activities in Texas when we stayed there a couple of winters.
