Product Description:
OYSTERS ARE SEXY. LETâS AGREE ON THAT RIGHT AWAY.
But thereâs much more to the oyster than simply its legendary power as an aphrodisiac. And thatâs what youâll find inside this charming field guide to oysters by oyster purveyor and champion shucker Patrick McMurray.
Rich in history and lore, CONSIDER THE OYSTER weaves together anecdotes from the authorâs experiences as a restaurateur and competitive shucker with practical information on everything from opening oysters with finesse (and a minimum of personal injury!) to planning an oyster party, finding the best oyster bars and ordering hard-to-get bivalves on the Internet.
Youâll also meet the people who grow and export oysters â from the coast of Ireland to the shores of Cape Cod and everywhere in between â and youâll find yourself longing to taste some of the more than fifty varieties that McMurray details with loving enthusiasm. Wellfleets, Malpeques, Irish Flats, Fines de Claires, Royal Courtesans... Theyâre all here, just waiting to be discovered and savored as never before.
Average Rating: 
Rating: -
This excellent book, very nicely produced with colour illustrations, presents Toronto-based oyster shucker supreme Patrick McMurray's wisdom about oysters - where they come from, the different species, how to open them, and a great selection of top oyster houses around the world. An ideal present for the seafood lover in your life.
