The brackish, mineral flavors of the oysters are complemented perfectly by the tangy, nutty, earthy artichokes.

Both a freshwater and brackish species, the golden mussel can tolerate wide ranges in salinity, temperature and pH levels, and cantravel much farther than people might think.

Researchers believe more rainfall and flooding may have caused some brackish lagoons to become less salty, a trend which favors capybaras, since the animals are semi-aquatic freshwater mammals.
