Old Navy story: Bought a bushel of arrsters right on the boat at Tall Timbers for $8 and a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon. This was November 1978 while I was at Pax River NAS. We had great oyster dressing for Thanksgiving. By the way, this purchase was prearranged through a friend who indicated that the case of PBR was an important part of the transaction!

Tough part was shucking the bushel outside at the picnic table with a garden hose.
Hope you find some arrsters, soon.
