First, congratulations Skipper!!

You're absolutely correct on that BennyV, never saw any on LI like these. They're actually "current tumbled", strewn around as individuals all over the bottom in a very narrow channel where the current tumbles them along. How do I know? By the fact that the barnacles are on both sides of the oyster so they can't be sitting on the bottom in a single orientation for long periods of time.

Don't care one way or the other, but these are truly the tastiest, sweetest and plumpest oysters I've ever had the pleasure of slurping down, but don't take my word for it, as our resident Professor Emeritus Dr. @Old Mud . He's collected and enjoyed them with me.

Of the 4 dozen or so I picked up today there was only a couple of Siamese "twins" and a single "triplet", while on LI, the oyster beds I frequented were full of conjoined oysters. Would spend some serious time with a rubber mallet separating them after collection.

It's like "shopping" for oysters here, strolling into the current in around in 8" of water looking for what I want.

"Nope, that's one of those European, Balon oysters. Too metallic tasting."

"Too big, I want these for raw bar. I'll come back next moon tide if I'm going to bake some up later in the month."

"There's a nice one, I'll pick up that one for sure."
