Native Oysters Get Ready for Their Summer Rest
As April comes to an end, native oysters along our shores prepare to “turn in” for the season. These delicate wild shellfish follow a natural cycle. They thrive in cooler months, then retreat during summer to rest and reproduce.
Often called the ocean’s quiet custodians, native oysters filter and enrich coastal waters through autumn and winter. As temperatures rise, their rhythm changes. They slow down and begin their seasonal pause.
The old tradition says you should only eat oysters in months with the letter “R.” This rule reflects their natural cycle. April marks your last chance to enjoy native oysters before they leave menus until September.
Take this moment to enjoy them while you can. Soon, they will settle in for a well-earned rest.
When autumn returns, so will they—rested, replenished, and ready to thrive again.
