"I learned that Hog Island Oyster Company is struggling with higher costs and safety delays: co-founder John Finger told SFGATE he's paying double what he normally would for oysters, companies must wait roughly five days after the rain ends to ensure oysters are safe to consume, and “when you have this much rain in a short period of time, it’s really hard to manage,” so “we just do the best we can.”" - Paolo Bicchieri
