Oyster Farming
Chris Sutherland's farm extends from land into the sea where he grows Pacific oysters on inter-tidal trestles. Helen Mark learns how the team deal with tides and timing.
On the Northumberland coast, in the shadow of Holy Island, Chris Sutherland farms Pacific Oysters in the tidal waters. As the water retreats the team tend to the sacks of living oysters on trestles, to collect, grade and return any that are too small. Helen Mark learns how timing is everything - from risking the tides and weather, to purification and grading to making the delivery truck so they reach the restaurants fresh.
Produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.
