[Sca-cooks] Raw clams/raw oysters was Re: Seljuk/Rumi/Sufi Cuisine

[chawkswrth at aol.com]

Actually, the latest reports have the slick heading to Louisiana/Alabama shores-the very active shoreline with over 40 natural wildlife preserves, as well as millions of fishing areas and oyster bars and where entire families are about to lose their livelihood. 
I am on the Birder List for Alabama and we are anticipating major hits on Pelican and Shorebird nesting sites, as well. What it will do to Manatee migration is anyone's guess.
This is shaping up to be a major natural disaster. 

Sorry for the off-topic comments, folks, but...::sigh::...it may well be decades before our food sources recover, not to say the beauty of our wildlife. I have stood on the shores, watching a flock of Brown Pelicans in feeding formation....it wasn't that long ago there were no Pelicans on the Gulf Coast-they had been hunted to the point of almost extinction.

Sadly, with the huge oil slick coming closer to the Texas and Louisiana shores 
yster and shrimp farmers are going to be hit hard. They are racing to harvest 
hat they can before it is destroyed.
ords can describe the emotions regarding this travesty.
 I have trouble eating shrimp due to a comment a friend of mine made a while 
ack. She called shrimp "Soylent Green of the Sea." I can eat oysters and clams 
ut can't eat uni.
