This was a great book about a food writer turned oyster grower learning about the process of bringing food to the table. Lots of great writing about the effort and labor going into growing oysters on a leased bottom farm in Massachusetts, and the restaurants and buyers that purchase these high-end shellfish. Fantastic descriptions of the larger than life personalities involved - and the juxtaposition of grungy oyster growers and hoity toity 5 star chefs that buy the read deal ingredients. Really worth the fun read!… (meer)

Although this gives you a highly detailed picture of the oyster growing business, it is so much more because the author is part of the picture in unbelievable ways! I am so impressed with what Erin went through, physically, emotionally to get "into" this subject and now, of course, she will never really leave it. The book reads like a novel. Erin's own life is a major part of this book, right along with the lives of the oysters. A fascinating read.
