...accounting for more than $1.2 million in revenue for the Cape and islands aquaculture industry in 2003, more than any other shellfish species.

Ah, NOW I see where the interest by government comes from.

What's the matter, too many people kicking the smoking habit?

I would rather that "scrapple" went extinct.

[holyscroller]

Speaking on behalf of Scrapple Lovers of Free Republic, I resent your junk science. Scrapple will NEVER go extinct. We have the secret formula.

"Including the American oyster on the endangered species list would come as another major setback for the Massachusetts shellfish ... state Sen. Robert O'Leary, D-Barnstable, wrote in a press release earlier this week."

--- But I thought that a judge in Mass already ruled that you couldn't stop Lesbian marriage, how can eating oyster be endangered?

Well, looks like I better have one last plate of blue points while I still can. Pass the horseradish and tabasco and move back out of the way.

If they ever try that with the Gulf oysters down here......katie bar the door! :)

There's a place on Bourbon St. that had a happy hour on oysters on the half shell. $10 for all you could eat. I think I put down 5 dozen before I couldn't eat another. Some ketchup, tobasco and horseradish, saltine crackers and cold beer to wash it down. I could eat those suckers all day.
