Oil-Free Oysters - Oyster Dredging on Chesapeake Bay, Virginia postcard

Oil-free oysters - from Chesapeake Bay, circa 1905-1910. Of course, bacterial infection could still do you in. Do they suggest Gulf oysters be flambe'd these days? (click image for larger view).

Actually this is a photo of dredging on San Francisco Bay, taken in 1889. Check out this site for proof and details:
