The Oyster Book

The oyster—one of Earth’s oldest animals—has been cherished for millennia and nearly lost to overconsumption and pollution, before modern aquaculture sparked a remarkable revival. In The Oyster Book, renowned farmer Dan Martino offers an insider’s look at the history, science, and artistry of oyster farming, from husbandry and farming techniques to understanding “merroir,” the nuanced flavors shaped by place. An exploration of sustainability, craft, and culture, this beautifully bound hardcover examines the past, present, and future of humanity’s enduring relationship with the oyster.
