Consider the Oyster: a Shucker's Field Guide
Education & Reference Science & Nature Food & Drink
Patrick Mcmurray’s hardcover reference, Consider the Oyster: a Shucker's Field Guide, is a 2007 Palgrave USA release that turns the humble bivalve into a hands-on education for seafood lovers and hobby chefs alike. The 191-page volume pairs marine-life science with practical shucking technique, making it a go-to for young adults and adults eager to level up their shellfish skills.
Bound in a sturdy 192 mm format and still wearing its original dust jacket, this copy arrives from a smoke-free home with crisp, tidy pages that feel barely handled. At just under 600 g, it sits comfortably on a kitchen shelf or in a tote bag headed for the coast.
No signatures, inscriptions, or library marks here—just a clean, very-good-condition handbook ready to guide your next oyster feast.
