Oysters - Nelson Whoppers

×

All you oyster lovers will have followed the oyster controversy with interest. So have we, for Nelson is vitally concerned in the oyster business. Jack Cotton has contended for some time that the oysters in Nelson waters are first class and he has applied for a licence to fish for them. As proof, therefore, that Nelson oysters are first class, we reproduce these two photographs. We got six Nelson oysters on this plate above and one dozen Bluff oysters (not selected) on the plate.

One dozen Nelson oysters weighed 8½ozs; a dozen Bluff, 3½ozs. A noteworthy comment from one fisherman: "If we got those Nelson oysters here, we'd have to fillet them." Good luck with the application, Jack.
