You put enough Tabasco and vodka on a mollusk and who cares where it’s been. Those bacteria are toast.

If it tastes like gear oil, drink a chaser of Corexit. The ones next year will be better.

What sector of free enterprize doesn’t the government want to shut down? They won’t be happy until we are sitting on piles of dung sucking up bugs with a straw.

Just make sure state resources are not used. That’s illegal.

“....or is this necessary?”

Well, I’m of two minds about this. It’s none of the governments business, IMHO. But on the other hand, oysters are filter feeders. It just depends on what they are filtering. Downstream from New Orleans would be a bad oyster. I’m not sure what these NJ oysters are downstream from.

There was a similar proposal regarding lobsters recently, too. I thought it odd at the time.

“The vote by the American Lobster Management Board came after lobstermen said a possible five-year ban on lobster fishing from south of Cape Cod, Mass., to North Carolina would destroy their businesses just as the species is rebounding.

Board member Bill McElroy, a Rhode Island lobsterman, argued a moratorium made no sense, since lobstermen aren’t overfishing and a moratorium wouldn’t rebuild the lobster population to levels regulators are targeting.”

I did a quick search and didn't find anything about the federal government regulating the shellfish industry in the Constitution. So, that power is left to the states or the people.

Personally, I don't eat shellfish unless I know the harvester or harvest them myself. Caveat Emptor and all of that.

The government believes that if they don’t regulate it then these fishermen will throw bad fish on the market willy nilly. That thought is BS.

If they put bad fish on the market it will be found out and they will be shut down for good along with lawsuits. Shell fish are tagged with the bed and harvest date they are taken from. This tag is recorded and maintained for several weeks by the restaurant you get them from or the grocer you buy them from.

Regulating food and drugs are not enumerated powers specifically listed in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution! Therefore the mere existence of the FDA is unconstitutional! The FDA must be abolished!
