Oysters are a mainstay of Australia's summer for some people, but a South Australian farmer says there is nothing simple about bringing them from the ocean to the plate.
Cowell oyster farmer Simon Turner's day is dominated by the same task — collecting oysters from the water, sorting them, then returning them to the waters of his Eyre Peninsula farm.
"There is a bit of a theory out there that we just put oysters out there, come back in two years and sell them and that's not true," Mr Turner says.
