We met at the Clubhouse last Thursday, February 15th, for a quick meeting before going on our tour of the Oregon Oyster Farms. We learned all about oysters (how they are grown, harvested and shipped). We watched some workers shucking the oysters. The photo shown was taken through glass but you can see the pile of oysters they were working on. On the way out to tour the dock area, we were each treated to a sample of an oyster cooked in the shell. They had a wonderful sauce on them and even the diehards had to admit these oysters were delicious. The weather was cold and rainy so we didn't go out on the docks but finished the tour under cover where we saw a string of oysters and watched workers getting them ready for shipping. I think everyone learned something from this trip and many went back in to purchase some tasty treats to take home. Thank you, Bob Abbott, for the great photos. You can see more photos on The Wall at the Clubhouse.
