After Washington Vibrio Scare, Is It Safe to Eat Oregon Oysters? | Eater Portland

"At the celebrated seafood market and restaurant owned by fishmonger and chef Lyf Gildersleeve, I found a business that prides itself on responsible, high-quality shellfish sourcing; when a few customers reported vibriosis after eating Washington oysters he was mortified, noting that beds are supposed to be tested weekly and closed when vibrio counts are high, and that his customers got sick before the beds were shut down — a situation he called awful and vowed to avoid by changing suppliers (he and other Portland seafood restaurants have stopped serving Washington oysters and are sourcing from places like Alaska and Maine)." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
