Mark Twain was absolutely wild about oysters—especially the tiny, coppery Olympia oysters he discovered during his time in San Francisco. Back in the 1860s, these local oysters were so popular they nearly vanished by the 1950s, thanks to over-harvesting and pollution. Now, after decades of restoration, Olympias are making a comeback and can be found in some seafood spots again. It’s pretty amazing to think we can still enjoy the same briny treat Twain once raved about. Anyone here ever tried Olympia oysters? How do you like to eat them—raw, fried, or in a classic old-school recipe? #Food #MarkTwain #SanFrancisco
