Oysters will be there from Dennis to Provincetown.

Come taste test and fill out for ballot for which you believe is the winner.

You might be surprised who you pick in this blind tasting.

Get ready to dive deep into the world of shucked oysters with a free Zoom webinar this Thursday, May 16th at 2:30pm, courtesy of Our Wicked Fish, Inc. ! Join Amanda Davis, the mastermind behind Our Wicked Fish, as she spills the beans (or should we say shucks the oysters?) on the History and Future of Shucked Oysters.
This webinar isn't your average fish tale; it's a collaboration between Our Wicked Fish, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Sea Grant, and our office mates over at Buy Fresh Buy Local Cape Cod. These folks mean serious business when it comes to seafood!
Before you tune in, here's a sneak peek of what's on the menu: Did you know that pre-pandemic, a whopping 90% of Massachusetts oysters were served up raw in restaurants? Unfortunately when the pandemic hit and restaurants closed their doors, oyster growers were left high and dry with unsold whole oysters.
But this webinar isn't just about the past; it's about shaping the future of oyster consumption in Massachusetts. From learning about the rich history of oysters to brainstorming ways to shake things up in the seafood scene, this webinar promises to be shuck-tastic!
So mark your calendars and register for this webinar at the link here https://loom.ly/PEB5FZA
Let's ensure that Massachusetts oysters continue to be the pearl of New England's culinary scene for years to come! 🐚🍽️
This free webinar is part of a Buy Fresh Buy Local Cape Cod speaker series that was made possible through support and a funding from the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources.
