## Resource

He grew up around oysters, flirted with other ambitions, and thankfully found his way back to the estuary before doing anything too sensible. Jimmy Wheeler is joining the upcoming Fishtales Seafood Podcast for a proper chat about oysters, quality, family legacy and the glorious obsession required to grow the really good ones. He’ll also be out and about in the flesh at the Narooma Oyster Festival and at Oysters in the House at Shell House on June 7 — so there are multiple opportunities to hear him talk oysters and, ideally, eat a few while you’re at it. Sharp oysters, sharp minds, and only the right sort of shellfish behaviour. ⁠https://www.wheelersoysterfarm.com.au⁠ ⁠https://www.naroomaoysterfestival.com⁠ ⁠https://events.humanitix.com/oysters-in-the-house⁠ Follow Fishtales, a Seafood Podcast on Instagram ⁠https://www.instagram.com/fishtalesseafoodpodcast/⁠ Follow John Susman ⁠https://www.instagram.com/fisheads/?hl=en⁠ Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) ⁠https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/⁠ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) ⁠https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/⁠ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS ⁠https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork⁠ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES ⁠https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5⁠ The Fishtales Seafood podcast with John Susman will tell the stories of the catchers, growers, sellers and servers of seafood around the world.
