It remains depressing to read about the intense over harvesting of seafood.

Concerned that we aren't concerned about the replacement of the native oyster populations. What if those were better tasting and were also better suited to the environment?

An explanation of why only some species of oysters are eaten would be nice.
Also, the author just contradicted himself about the edibility of pearl producing oysters.

Wait, is this just a shill book for a man's oyster farm?
Still going to read it, but damn not an amazing start.

It's more the discussion of humans depleting millions of oysters in oyster beds to the point that we don't really know what those prior beds looks (or tasted) like.
