The world is your oyster

Five years ago, I had my first Glidden Point oyster at a Mitchell's Fish Market.  It was so fresh, crisp and clean that I committed its name to memory and looked up its provenance.  Turns out, Glidden Points are harvested in Edgecomb, Maine a mere bajillion miles away.  Over Labor Day weekend, I fulfilled an epicurian goal and made a trip up to Maine.  The oysters were even better and fresher than I remembered.  As an added bonus, I managed to open six oysters without puncturing my hands.
