Ep. 102: The Perfect Oyster with Sweet Amalia

Oysters are one of our favorite snacks here at Delicious City, and you can find some of the best tasting mollusks in the world right in New Jersey. We talk with Merch Madness and Tasties winners Sweet Amalia about all things oysters, from farming to shucking to serving.
