Yeah....the southern end of the Chesapeake Bay is higher salinity and better
oysters. The native oysters almost died out (was it a bacteria that killed
them?) I read it all but have forgotten.

Anyway, they introduced 2 species of Asian (I think) oysters to the bay and
they are doing well and you can buy those now. They are good.
