Product Description

Shucked begins on the cold waters of Duxbury, Massachusetts, where food writer Erin Byers Murray trades city life for a year working alongside the oyster farmers of Island Creek Oysters. She arrives knowing little about aquaculture and quickly learns that raising oysters means boats before dawn, freezing water, heavy gear, unpredictable weather, and plenty of mud.

Part memoir and part deep dive into New England oyster culture, Shucked follows an oyster from farm to table while introducing the people who make their living on the water. Murray writes about tides and farming, food and community, and the particular pleasure of knowing exactly where dinner came from. For anyone who has ever ordered a dozen oysters and wondered about the life behind the shell, this is the story.
