August 5, 2018 National Oyster Day

If The World Is My Oyster…I’m Getting My Shucking Knife!

It’s reputed that Casanova, the infamous 18th century cad, started his day with 50 oysters. Whether he ate them for their aphrodisiac properties or simply because he had a penchant for the briny bivalve mollusks we’ll never know.

What we do know is, aphrodisiac or not, oysters have been enjoyed by humans since prehistoric times so it makes sense to slurp up a half shell on August 5th in honor of National Oyster Day.
