From Rowan Jacobsen, America's go-to expert, the author of the
trailblazing A Geography of Oysters, comes the ultimate oyster
guide--a gorgeous, full-color, must-have book. A decade ago, Rowan
Jacobsen wrote a book called A Geography of Oysters that celebrated
the romance of oysters, the primal rush of slurping a raw denizen
of the sea, and the mysteries of molluscan terroir. The book struck
a chord, and American oyster culture has been on a gravity-defying
trajectory ever since. With lavish four-color photos throughout by
renowned photographer David Malosh, The Essential Oyster is the
definitive book for oyster-lovers everywhere, featuring stunning
portraits, tasting notes, and backstories of all the top oysters,
as well as recipes from America's top oyster chefs and a guide to
the best oyster bars. Spotlighting more than a hundred of North
America's greatest oysters--the unique, the historically
significant, the flat-out yummiest--The Essential Oyster introduces
the oyster culture and history of every region of North America, as
well as overseas. There is no coastline from British Columbia to
Baja, from New Iberia to New Brunswick, that isn't producing great
oysters. For the most part, these are deeper cupped, stronger
shelled, finer flavored, and more stylish than their predecessors.
Some have colorful stories to tell. Some have quirks. All have
character. The Essential Oyster will help you find the best, and
help you to cherish them better. That is what's captured--and
celebrated--in these pages.
