MS Oyster Season May End On Sour Note

PASS CHRISTIAN, MS – This year’s oyster season is coming to a close, ending just as quickly as it began.

There’s now just two days left for oystermen to get out on the waters during the seven day window, but aside from the short season, there hasn’t been much to harvest.

If you ask dock farmer Keith Lassabe, he’ll tell you this year’s oysters taste great.

“The oysters are very nice and fat. They’re salty," he said.

But, the problem is there’s just not enough of them. A semi truck for Pass Purchasing Seafood was fairly empty of Mississippi oysters on Monday.
