Did you ever wonder why oysters are labeled the greatest aphrodisiac? Well, it was Casanova, the 18th-century lover’s diet of 50 oysters everyday for breakfast, which led to that belief. But don’t snicker. Based on research, some scientists today agree and claim that spring is when they’re most potent. So stock up! You can get the local favorite, Pipes Cover Oysters, every morning on the beach of the Silver Sands Motel and Beach Cottages in Greenport. Not an early riser? Then order up a dozen or so at Scrimshaw Restaurant or the Frisky Oyster Bar.
