Wild Caught Oysters



I was a little confused when I saw "Wild Caught" on a container of oysters.

Is it just me? I didn't think of oysters as "caught." Fish are caught. Criminals are caught.

Oysters
are collected and fished, in the broad sense of the term, by simply gathering them from their beds.

When I think of something being caught, I think of evasion techniques...duck and cover, a flight or fight response, run for your life...and other evasive maneuvers.

When I think "Wild Caught," I think of wild stallions or powerful sailfish fighting with cowboys or fishermen for grueling hours.

Oysters live on an oyster bed. A BED...that tells you how immobile they can be.
