FishTales - a Seafood Podcast with John Susman

Show Notes

He grew up around oysters, flirted with other ambitions, and thankfully found his way back to the estuary before doing anything too sensible.

Jimmy Wheeler is joining the upcoming Fishtales Seafood Podcast for a proper chat about oysters, quality, family legacy and the glorious obsession required to grow the really good ones.

He’ll also be out and about in the flesh at the Narooma Oyster Festival and at Oysters in the House at Shell House on June 7 — so there are multiple opportunities to hear him talk oysters and, ideally, eat a few while you’re at it.

Sharp oysters, sharp minds, and only the right sort of shellfish behaviour.
