“The oysters we raise are Pacific oysters. We bought the seeds at the LMM (Marine Mollusk Laboratory) of the UFSC (Federal University of Santa Catarina). These animals deliver them to us in 1mm or 1.5mm and, when we arrive at the farm, we divide the seeds into “portions” and we place them in nurseries with a 700 micron mesh,” they detailed from the shelter to Ámbito.
In restaurants near the beach, oysters have a value between R$30 and R$50 and They replace what in Argentina is known as “picada”. The main course, generally composed of shrimp or other types of fish, is always preceded by a plate of oysters.
