If you’re not lucky enough to live along one of the many coasts in the world,  but still long for the taste of fresh oysters you’re in luck.

I’m going to ignore those of you looking to remind me they sell oysters at the grocery store… and instead suggest Taylor Shellfish Farms just outside of Seattle.

They offer several different options all of them better than anything you’ll find at your local megamart and all available via their website.

And for those of you in San Francisco, a reminder that some of the best oysters in the world can be found right here, courtesy of the Hog Island Oyster Company.  Also available for ordering online.

And lets not forget oysters are good for you…

“Oysters are high in zinc, potassium, and vitamins A, B-12, C, and D. Oysters are also a great source of cholesterol-reducing omega-3 fatty acids. A 3 1/2 - ounce serving (about 3 small oysters) contains 69 calories, 2.5 milligrams of fat, and .44 milligrams of omega-3s.”
