Oyster Shucking

Join our ecologist, Will, for this raw culinary experience. You’ll be introduced to the history of oystering in the Chesapeake Bay region, the modern aquaculture of the Eastern Oyster, and the safe techniques of oyster shucking. While you shuck, learn why the flavors of oysters vary according to where they’re harvested and the temperature of the water. At the end of your feast, we invite you to contribute to our restoration efforts by adding the empty oyster shells to our Living Shoreline.
