Water Watch 2012: Shucked

Let Erin Murray, author of Shucked, take you on a unique tour of the oyster business from an insider's perspective. In this engrossing and very personal account, a young woman from Boston ditches her pampered city girl lifestyle and convinces the rowdy crew at Island Creek Oysters in Duxbury, Massachusetts, to let a completely unprepared, aquaculture-illiterate food and lifestyle writer work for them for 18 months to learn the business of oysters. It is an in-depth look at the work that goes into… Show more getting oysters from farm to table, and shows Erin's full-circle journey through the modern day oyster farming process. It also tells a dynamic story about the people who grow our food, and the cutting-edge community of weathered New England oyster farmers who are defying convention and looking ahead.
