    Thank you Sam. Here's a few interesting statistics. Oysters actually serve to clean the water through filtering. An oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day. At one time, the oyster population in the Chesapeake Bay could filter the entire bay in a single week. Today, a much smaller population needs about a year to filter an amount equivalent to all of Chesapeake Bay.

    Thanks Sam for taking your time to show us this. I live in New England and am all about the oyster and sea food in general. You are fortunate to have been able to eat the oysters fresh just outside of the water, lucky you. Take care

    So interesting & very well done. It helps that the story's subject is so unusually thoughtful & a good storyteller (not to mention kinda hunky😘) but you asked him good questions & edited this into a great package. One thing UA-cam has really surprised me about is how many 'regular' people out there seem to be more talented at video journalism than professional journalists at major media outlets. I hope you try your hand at more of these sorts of stories when you come across them. Thanks!

    Thanks again, Sam! Great questions! I've been following you for a week or so and had to comment on your oystering segment. My brother-in-law was Jack Radel who owned the Radel Oyster Co. They had beds (and docks) in Bridgeport, Norwalk, Oyster Bay, New Haven, and Northport. They probably ran 25-30 boats in the oystering hay day from the 30's to the 50's. By the time I worked as a deckhand during high school and college summers in the late 60's and early 70's they were down to 6 boats. They did it the old fashioned way dredging up oysters directly from the leased beds in Long Island Sound.

    Nice, I enjoy sampling Oysters from the East and West coasts. Oysters are like apples, they taste different based on locations. Theres variety out in the seas! Most memorable oyster I’ve had was from California and I kid you not it had a subtle watermelon after taste. Ordered a plate of them at Eddie V’s.

    We can begin to feed.

      But four young Oysters hurried up,
      All eager for the treat:
      Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
      Their shoes were clean and neat-
      And this was odd, because, you know,
      They hadn't any feet.
      Four other Oysters followed them,
      And yet another four;
      And thick and fast they came at last,
      And more and more and more-
      All hopping through the frothy waves,
      And scrambling to the shore.
