I decided to talk about my expérience as an oyster seller.

The Company’s name is Huitres Dieulafait, I worked there 3 months in 2019, I was working alone on a port, at Courseulles it was an avenue of something like 10 different companies which were selling, fishes, oysters, shellfish… About the company, it was a small one, created by a young couple of oyster farmer.

In addition to them, there were 3 employees but as a seller I was the only one.

To describe my tasks, first of all I arrived at the warehouse at 8AM, I took the oyster crates out of the very cold and salted water, then thanks to the sound I had to recognize which ones were dead.

After that I had a very short time to prepare tens of oyster baskets according to the different sizes.

Afterwards (afterwords) I loaded the truck and drove to the port.

It was days of 11hours, including 8 on the port because I had 2hours to eat between 1 and 3PM.

At the end of the day the process is the same but in the opposite way..

it was an intense experience, it was cold and wet all the time, in the fall we were in ski clothes.

It was physical, and I spent my day waiting for customers who didn’t come.

but it is a rewarding experience because I know what the effort is, and I knew how to integrate myself in a rather particular environment.
