In this episode we caught up with Jerry Fraser, the undisputed oyster king of Western Australia. We've long admired Jerry's commitment to the West Australian hospitality industry and his deep appreciation of provenance, produce and people. We were lucky enough to find out just how many oysters he's shucked over the last forty years (a lot!), growing up in the mountains of Peru and his naughty English boarding school days.
