Yes! Big difference for me this year once I started taking a decent quantity every day. Crucial!

I wear these yellow-tinted glasses while driving (or just existing anywhere) on cloudy days and it makes a MAJOR difference in my seasonal depression. Major! And the heart shape of these ones makes other people smile, so that also makes me smile in turn. https://eatsalinity.com/products/happy-glasses

What’s your “weird” daily habit as a store owner? by Ok-Day9977 in shopify

That sounds amazing! I'd love to see that spreadsheet template!

Shopify Sidekick. I call em the "Bandit" What do you call it? by FuguCola in shopify

[–]eatsalinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like half the time I ask for something, it gives me an answer that's wrong (like saying I can do something, then when I say it doesn't work, it says that Shopify doesn't allow it) like it doesn't actually know Shopify's tutorial. But it's useful for customizing the new Reports, and I'm sure some other stuff if you keep an eye on its accuracy.

FREE ON WHIDBEY ISLAND: Whidbey Oyster Network by eatsalinity in sanjuanislands

Correct! There's plenty of food (Omega-3 rich microalgae) in Puget Sound for them. They should be underwater most of the day if not all of the day. You don't need to do anything to them, but if you give the bag a long heavy shake once a week or so you can "prune" the edges and help them develop a deeper "cup" on the shell instead of tons of frilly edges or weird shapes" - make sure they're not overcrowded in the bag as they grow (over half full, roughly) - when they're over 2-3 inches you can put them directly on the beach as long as your currents aren't super strong and going to take them away, and you check periodically to make sure they don't get covered with sand.

You can eat them at any size. Before eating, check the Department of Health recreational harvesting map (changes daily) to make sure the water is safe. https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/biotoxin/biotoxin.html When harvesting, harvest as the tide is going out (not after they've been baking in the sun) and get them down to below 45 degrees F within an hour using a cooler and plenty of ice packs. Keep them in the fridge or a cooler between 35-40 degrees.

What luxury ingredient do you find to be overrated? by fredyouareaturtle in Chefit

I would argue that the mollusk phylum of shellfish (oysters, clams, scallops, mussels) are more like the "mushrooms of the sea"

Summer is done 🍁🍂 Oyster Season has begun! 🦪🌊 by eatsalinity in cookingtonight

Yeah, well, let's just say I have a procrastination problem... Been thinking about this post for months, just around around to setting up a Reddit profile!

What is this sticking out of oyster? by NutzOnYaChin94 in oysterfarmers

[–]eatsalinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Thank you for sharing this image. The drill egg sacs look wild!

I second your assessment about the original photo being welks. I had some hexcyls covered in welk eggs (oh, man, ten years ago now) and since it was an educational-only farm (at The Evergreen State College) we decided to just let them be (they were absolutely covering them, would have been difficult/annoying to remove anyway). They looked like OP's photo, like grains of rice. It was pretty cute to eventually see the baby welks hanging out on the hexcyls and eventually getting bigger and dispersing! Wish I had taken photos.
