    Great viewing as always, I'm sixty-four now and in the West of Scotland's rich waters we used to put our mussels,clabbydhu's (giant mussels) and other bivalves into buckets filled with the sea water and flour added so the flour flushed out the digestive system.
    Have a look at the Oregon State University's method of Enhanced Depuration Researchers, led by Professor Yi-Cheng Su who tweaked the depuration process to improve its effectiveness.
    A similar technique has been used in the United Kingdom for decades now for small to industrial solutions.
    But the attention to detail in the farmer here will be a thing to learn from and maybe improve for sustainability.
    Thanks to ALL who made this possible.

    Something to consider is that Oysters are filter feeders, so they clean a massive amount of water, over fishing basically removes them from the environment causing it to literally break down and species that lives there disappears within a decade or two.
    The cleaner the water from the filtering process the more sunlight reaches the bottom which helps more species thrive.

    I haven't eaten raw oysters since 2010....I made a deal with God and I intend to keep it. After decades of eating raw oysters at about every oyster bar I could find, I had "the bad oyster" one night out in summer 2010. I spent the night on my bathroom floor praying to live as it was coming out both ends. I made a deal with God that if he got me through the night I would never eat another raw oyster...so far I've kept the promise.

    Virginia is currently the largest producer of oysters in the United States, but all oyster sales annually only make up ~5% of our $1.1B seafood market (~$60m in oyster sales annaully). Oysters are quite common here in Virginia, but in reality they account for very little of our economy (There's ~134 Oyster farms inside virginia as of January 2024). The entire agricultural industry in Virginia has an economic impact of $82.3B meaning Oysters account for 0.073% of the annual agricultural value.

      Oystering near the mouth of the Suwanee River was forbidden for years because the water going into the Gulf was full of bacteria. Then they cleaned up the river and it was resumed. After a few years… I think they wiped out the oysters as I haven’t seen any offered from that area. Not sure.

    The Bay once was just laden with oysters everywhere they could grow. There were oyster mountains in deeper water. They were harvested so heavily the bay was almost ruined.
    I remember even in the 70s they harvested so many they gave the shells away free by the truck load from sea food plants. My grandfather had an oyster shell drive way at his Maryland home. I recall the driveway reeked of rotten fish for a while before the odor went away. The shells were good driveway alternative to gravel, they broke and compacted themselves as you used it and became a very good surface after a couple years. Those days are gone forever.

    Interesting. I own a house on the water in lower Potomac/upper Chesapeake Bay where I grow my oysters exactly like this off my dock. What I didn’t hear in this video is how these multi million dollar oyster companies submit applications to start new farms encroaching on the water rights at the water front homes that people pay a lot of money for. The HOA of the creek that my house is on is fighting one of the local oyster companies who submitted 3 - 4 applications to implement football field size fields. Several were submitted at the mouth of the creek, preventing Bay access. Doing this basically ends water recreation by the home owners who live in the coveted areas. Other than that chief complaint, the oysters are wonderfully sweet and delicious and so are the blue crabs that are abundant. BTW the above information is a matter of public record.

    We are so far inland that these are rarely available to us in safely fresh form. I've had raw oysters several times, though, and found them absolutely delightful, with or without adding junk on top of them. Raw oysters are NOT, I repeat they are NOT slimy! They are firm and they taste of sea water, extremely delicious. When I lived on the Texas coast there was a small dockside establishment that served "Oyster Burgers". These were fresh-caught, deep-fried oysters on a hamburger bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, and Louisiana hot sauce. I love the Arkansas Ozarks, but there are some things about the sea coast that I sorely miss!

We had to shuck them for 8 adults and none of the kids wanted any. I know we the three shuckers ate at least two dozen each and learned our limit. I like them with freshly squeezed lemon and champagne vinegar mignonette with shallots, horseradish, and black pepper.

    More people die from choking than eating oysters because everybody EATS, but only a small minority eats oysters, so considering that 100 people dying from oysters is still A LOT even if you compare it to the 5000 from choking. Also the data you presented didn't say you're more likely to die from choking on an oyster than getting food poisoning from an oyster, it just said that there are more overall deaths from choking than from food poisoning on an oyster. Do you honestly think more than 100 people each year choke on an oyster and die?
