Thank you for your interest in sustainable seafood! Properly handled oysteres from sustainable harvests can be a seasonal and savory seafood delicacy for parents and young adults. Oysters provide an unique and nutritious component to any meal. They are delicious raw however Otolith's representative, Amanda Bossard, will be demonstrating the simple basics of serving delicious cooked oysters and reminding seafood lovers that sometimes it is fun to put a little mollusk into your dinning experience. Shucking oysters can be easy if you are responsible and careful to use the proper shucking utensils.

Sourcing Sustainable oysters can be challenging, and although the oyster harvest season is coming to an annual closure for many small harvesters, there are plenty of oysters to look forward next year and Otolith will provide access to sustainable oysters through Community Supported Seafood, CSS, next Spring 2011.
