Northern Neck Oysters
Janet and Klaus harvested some oysters, grown in their own cages, at the Northern Neck. Look at the bucket load Klaus has.
Hamish wanted to help them but I think the water was a little too cold for him.
Klaus shucking the oysters wearing his special chainlink gloves that we bought them for Christmas.
The oysters are almost ready for cooking.
And here is the finished product - oyster stew - which I heard was very good.
I hope when we next visit I get a chance to harvest and cook some oysters.

The water-based portion of their operation is a one-acre site in Katama Bay. Jack is as much inventor as fisherman and has designed an upweller raft that constantly moves the plankton-rich water through the oyster seed he purchases from a certified hatchery. This continuous feeding of nutrients is what causes the oysters to grow and double in size weekly. After ten weeks the oyster cage is hoisted out of the water onto the raft where they are placed in a Jack-designed tumbler.

The oyster seed (which is sourced through a certified hatchery) that is destined to become Sweet Neck Farm oysters is started within the protected confines of an upweller located in Martha‘s Vineyard’s Katama Bay. The upweller provides the seed with a more or less constant flow of plankton rich waters that the oysters feed upon. The warm waters of Martha’s Vineyard facilitate a relatively quick grow-out for a North Atlantic oyster, and during the early stages of the oyster’s life in the upweller, the oysters will actually double their size on a weekly basis.
