I live in Maryland, well-known for its oysters and blue crabs. Famous
here are Chincoteague
oysters - full of flavour and reminiscent of the ocean.
As far as storage, the oystermen store in bushel baskets; restaurants
and fish houses store on ice. I have never, ever seen oysters stored
in tanks. They are bivalves, not crustaceans.
