I'm talking about wild maryland oysters , I have heard wild figures from 80-300 , their should be an average because most maryland oysters are harvested between 3 and 4 inches. Are these hundred counts you get wild or farmed ?

Any prices you've gotten in the mean time would have to be farmed oysters.

No way you are getting over 150-200 in a bushel.

Nasty looking and bland. Think they were sold under Chincoteague shellfish farms label.
