Pacific Oysters

These are the reasons why you don't go without shoes on a lot of our beaches.. these oysters have a very sharp shell and can cause a nasty cut..

The light here is the best! Was the sun shining down? Incredible textures on these shells!

Some nice colour barnacles there. But NZ does have some of the best oysters...

[Pat Knowles]

Yes but think what's inside them...can you eat them?

@888rachel @happypat @daisyjuds @heidihp Thank you for your comments.. yes you can eat them .. though the ones I came across were all empty, Don't think they get as big as our famous Bluff oysters... Not a shell fish I eat..
