This oyster was revealed at low tide still inside the shell at Forest St. Beach in Chatham, MA. Any shellfish not dug deep into the sand now will freeze. In fact shellfishing here is outlawed when it's really cold here, to protect the stock from exposure. It's a 3 million dollar industry in Chatham, with most of it being quahogs and steamers (soft shell clams).

Sorry about that! The link and credit is actually there on the article page - just a little hard to see straight away. Another credit has been added to the front page.
