If you’ve ever driven up north...
you might’ve seen the Bay of Islands Oyster Shop in Kawakawa.
Hard to miss the giant mountain of oyster shells piled outside.
I always have to stop — partly for the oysters, but also because I start imagining all the pieces I could make with those shells… lol.
They’ve got this cool mural outside showing the oyster shucker (look at me next to it and tell me I don’t look like one of the crew 😂).

Also — let’s settle this:
Fried or raw?
I’m team raw. Straight-up with lemon.
