I have been on oyster boats in Alabama and Louisiana and eaten them as they were harvested! Nice and salty.

Nice and salty.

NOthin' compared to our Chincoteague oysters. And our clams are nearly as good. Not only have I been on a clam boat doing harvesting, but I once had a chance to help seed the clam beds -- and then harvest that same bed 18 months later. That was FUN!!!!!!!

The seafood is what I miss the most after moving from the Al. coast. Seafood here is just not the same. For one thing, they cook it to death; and I have not yet seen a fresh seafood market, only grocery store stuff.

I had a coworker that was neighbors in Alabama Port with an oysterman that brought back the saltiest oysters of any. He had a specific reef that was just great tasting and he sold them very cheap to my coworker.
