The result is \u003ci\u003eShucked\u003c\/i\u003e—part love letter, part memoir and part documentary about the world's most beloved bivalves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding an in-depth look at the work that goes into getting oysters from farm to table, \u003ci\u003eShucked \u003c\/i\u003eshows Erin's fullcircle journey through the modern day oyster farming process and tells a dynamic story about the people who grow our food, and the cutting-edge community of weathered New England oyster farmers who are defying convention and looking ahead. The narrative also interweaves Erin's personal story—the tale of how a technology-obsessed workaholic learns to slow life down a little bit and starts to enjoy getting her hands dirty (and cold). This is a book for oyster lovers everywhere, but also a great read for locavores and foodies in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154182979824,"sku":"9781429989091","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781429989091_p0.jpg?v=1769903925","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781429989091","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
