What in the World Would You Like to Find Inside of an Oyster?

I was asked today… “If an oyster could produce something other than a pearl, what in the world do you think would be a cool thing to find in an oyster?” I explored a lot of options, including diamonds, my favorite food, lobster…even the whimsical, like music or sunshine…but since I was in an Easter mood… …What if you went and collected a bunch of Gulf oysters, and opened one up, only to be...
