Using Island Creek Oysters hand delivered by fisherman Chris Sherman, author Erin Beyers Murray (Shucked, 2011) shares a recipe for baked oysters learned from her former crewmate Andy "Berg" Yberg. This dish is a fisherman's twist on the classic Oysters Rockefeller — it takes half the time to prepare and the flavor of the oyster is the true star. Erin and Chris begin by shucking oysters (the top shell is used in place of salt for baking) then top them with spinach, garlic, butter and a generous dusting of Parmesan. Erin recommends you eat this dish near the water. We couldn't agree more.

After 8 years in the far cushier world of online editing and freelance food writing, Erin Byers Murray ditched the home office (and the wardrobe) to join Island Creek Oysters. Somehow, despite a total lack of knowledge about aquaculture or boating, she convinced Skip Bennett to let her join the team as a farm hand to learn the business of bivalves. Despite a constant lack of sleep and a growing number of bruises, she's found her rhythm with the crew and looks forward to watching millions of baby seedlings grow into sweet, plump, juicy 'sters. During her few free hours, she continues to write for publications like Boston magazine, Improper Bostonian, Food & Wine, and Body & Soul.
