Stephen Kavanagh of Marine Health Foods, a marine biologist with over 30 years of experience explains why we can look to oysters for TONS of good stuff like zinc, protein, selenium, and more and what these can do for us.
Stephen also expands on how unique oysters are, how good they are for the ocean, and what we can do to avoid overfishing them.
