I had not realized that there were so many types of oysters, or that
they could be so different.   I don't have them often, but do enjoy them

could do to shuck fast enough to keep up with the demand.  I have a
picture which I'll be putting on photobucket soon, and will say more
about where we were when I get around to writing up a trip report.
