Harvesting Alaska: Kachemak Bay Oysters

 
From farm to table, Kachemak Bay Oysters are a delicacy offered almost year-round in restaurants.
Many of them are grown in Peterson Bay, a cove located on the south shore of Kachemak Bay. It’s cold, clean water is home to hundreds of thousands of oysters. They live at the bottom of buoys, in nets tethered to a long line under water.
“The farm in this case rises and falls with the tide rather than move around,” said Sean Crosby, manager of Kachemak Bay Shellfish Coop.
