"The bay is shaped like an hourglass—wide at the head and mouth, and narrow in the middle. As water sweeps through the narrow section, it pulls away silt that would normally settle out of the water, leaving clean sand and gravel substrate in its wake. This creates an ideal habitat for oysters."
The bay is Little Skookum Bay, where oyster farmer Brett Bishop maintains a generations-old family business in the industry. Read the full Lincoln Now text about him, embedded above, to learn about the process of harvesting oysters, why Brett loves it so much, and what makes for the tastiest specimens.
