NEW ORLEANS, LA – Some of the first Louisiana oysters cultivated off the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico make it to market this weekend.
The specialty oysters, grown in floating cages by Caminada Bay Premium Oysters, make their limited-run debut at the Crescent City Farmers Markets around the city starting Saturday, July 18.
Marcos Guerrero, owner of Caminada Bay Premium Oysters, says growing the oysters in the floating cages makes for a higher quality product.
The oysters achieve market size after a ten to twelve month growing period.
