Ryan telling us about the oyster harvest…
The topic of Jon’s senior seminar sounds pretty grim: For several weeks now, our senior have learned about “our dying oceans”. A few weeks ago, on a beautiful, sunny March afternoon, Ryan Birch (’98) who is working as assistant conservation office in Brewster, MA paid us a visit and taught us all about oysters, how to grow them, how to harvest them, and – most importantly – how to shuck and eat them. :-)
… selling us on smoked Tabasco sauce (with David looking a bit skeptically) …
… and after showing us the tool of the trade …
… the first oyster is almost ready to be eaten.
Scott is an old pro with the oyster knife…
… and Lauren figures it out pretty quickly too.
Needless to say, there were no leftovers. Thank you Ryan!
