Shucking oysters

The '38 Hurricane changed the tidal patterns and water level in a inlet here. Then Hurricane Carol in 1954 really did a number. A low lying farm lost some acreage that was divided into sections with stone walls. Prime and I do mean PRIME breeding grounds for oysters.
Walk along in waist deep water and pop them off the rocks
Because it's still considered private property you really need to know the owners really well.
I open and freeze in a FoodSaver for stew all winter :)
