Awesome Skylar. First, Hama Hama is one of my favorite restaurants in the world and I think THE quintessential NW restaurant. Second, I’ve harvested a lot of oysters … but not off the beach. A buddy and I set up our own oyster grow operation in the water out front of his parent’s house on Whidbey Island and did a bi-weekly harvest for months, until I got too sick of driving up to Whidbey all the time. But I’ve never tried the open harvesting like this and now I’ve got to. Nice article and nice pics.
One of my favorite activities in the PNW is harvesting oysters. Grab a couple of camp chairs, head down to the beach, and harvest your own food. Sounds perfect. The first time we did this I remember the sign saying you can’t take the shells but there wasn’t any other info, luckily some fisherman were packing up for the day and filled us in. It’s just a really unique activity. Can’t wait to go again this year!
