The calmness of the lagoon offers perfect conditions for the growth of oysters and the local cultivators have improved over the generations the traditional methods of doing so. The tourists are led through the farms, can visibly see the oysters being harvested, and have the opportunity to taste the very oysters which have just been opened at the site. Eating these oysters accompanied by local bread, lemon or wine is the topmost Moroccan coastal experience one can have.
