Went oyster hunting with the family today. It has been a few months since our last outing and we had stopped when it was time for the oysters to go forth and multiply. At the same time, dad and I had travelled to Australia, and after we got back, I saw a news article about some contaminants in the water. So after seven-month hiatus, we went out to see what we could pick.
Today we managed to get quite a number of huge oysters which we decided to open right away. We also found some prawns trapped in the shallow pools of water and decided to feed them with the muscle stuck on oyster shells. Dad also found some agar seaweed and showed the rest of the family which ones to pick. The most interesting find was the horseshoe crab which I was excited about, until I learnt it was dead. Hopefully I'll get to see some live ones one day.
Time to head back to make some fried oyster omelette.
