From choosing perfect specimens to safe knife work, every page serves up practical know-how for seafood lovers, chefs, and curious home cooks alike.

The book pairs marine biology with step-by-step photos, turning oyster lore into an easy hobby or professional edge. McMurray’s lively voice keeps the reference tone light, making 191 pages feel like a coastal road trip in book form.
