 Topic: Raising 6000 oysters on the Chesapeake bayPosted: September-10-2010 at 11:28am |

My uncle is raising 6,000 oysters in the creek in front of his home on the bay. They have to be cleaned (powerwashed to remove silt / silt promotes disease and parasites) every 3-4 weeks but unfortunatly he had foot surgery in June. Wifey and I have been driving the 85 miles to the coast and cleaning the oysters for a few months now. Uncle snapped a few pics now that we can get him out of the house.

Oh, those are the cutest oysters I have ever seen! Those little darlings!! I bet they are slippery in the shower! I understand they are the most intelligent of all the mollusks!

Eric, sounds like you're going to need a good cold case of longnecks too.

Those flip tops are getting tough to find down here...Used to buy those when I was younger because none of my buddies could stand the taste so they wouldn't drink it! Good Stuff IMO
