Jeremy Sewall – Get Shucked for the Holidays

Looking for a page turner for the seafood lover in your life? Chef Jeremy Sewall, who knows a thing or two about seafood, recommends picking up a copy of Erin Byers Murray’s Shucked: Life on a New England Oyster Farm. The recently-released tome chronicles Byers Murray’s experience as she ditches city life to join the team at Island Creek Oysters in Duxbury and learn the ins and outs of modern day oyster farming from forward-thinking aquaculturists. Ideal for oyster lovers, locavores and foodies in general, the story is understandably close to Sewall’s heart – he’s the chef-owner at Island Creek Oyster Bar (the aforementioned farm’s Kenmore Square restaurant), Lineage and Eastern Standard, and a longtime supporter of sustainable seafood. You can order a copy online or try to catch up with the author at an upcoming signing to give your gift an extra personal touch.
