Orleans, MA - harvesting oysters from Pleasant Bay
December 2, 2020
By Jaime Dutton
With Thanksgiving behind us and the holidays in sight, the festivities at the table continue. In Cape Cod, where we spend a lot of our time, the waters are cold and the oysters are aplenty. Our family shellfish permit gets a lot more use at this time of year. Starting in October, it can be used for oystering and we are allowed to pluck oysters out of the chilly waters in Pleasant Bay. The day after Thanksgiving, weather permitting, it is our family tradition to gather oysters and enjoy them fresh around the fire pit. Nothing better to accompany them but a cold glass of Chablis or Champagne.
Can’t get more fresh than this!
