Have you been on a tour of the Carlsbad Aquafarm in the Carlsbad Lagoon? If not, you should. They even have parking right off the side of Carlsbad Blvd. Here’s a little more about the shucking place from San Diego Magazine.
The aquafarm’s five acres yield about 2 million pounds of oysters and mussels per year. “If this were a grassland and we were raising cattle, we’d only have enough food to raise half a cow here,” says Matt Steinke, the farm’s general manager. (That’s about 180 pounds of beef.) Gruesome image of a bisected cow grazing its way to marketable chubbiness aside, the comparison contextualizes just how many resources go toward putting animal products on our tables.
While you’re there you’ll learn about how great the oysters are for the health of the lagoon, the ocean, and most importantly how tasty they are once you’ve learned how to shuck them properly. For the rest of the story, please click the link.
