Oysters

Oysters by Cynthia Nims is a beautifully photographed guide to the oysters of the Pacific Coast, from Kumamotos and Shigokus to Pacifics and Virginicas.

Part natural history, part culinary guide, the book follows the growers and coastal communities behind these remarkable shellfish while exploring their cultivation, flavor, and place at the table. It also includes shucking instructions, thoughtful beverage pairings, and 30 recipes ranging from ale-battered oysters and chips to a Northwest-style Hangtown po’ boy.

A generous, transportive book for oyster lovers, coastal cooks, and anyone drawn to the quiet beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
