Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Oysters, yes. Crabs? Definitely. When it comes to shellfish, the Chesapeake Bay abounds with delicious options to satisfy local seafood cravings. But for more than 80 years, local scallops haven’t been a part of the region’s offerings. In 1933, a deadly hurricane and disease outbreak decimated the bay’s scallop population. Now, a local oyster company is hoping to resurrect the Chesapeake scallop – one harvest at a time. Kojo discusses their efforts.
Guests
- Tim Carman Food Writer, The Washington Post
