## About

Oysterminds is an editorial reference for oyster varieties. Every entry is
rated on the same 1–5 scale across four dimensions — salinity (recorded in the
data as "brine"), sweetness, minerality, and umami — alongside finish, texture,
shell, cultivation method, region, species, an explicit lemon verdict with a
stated reason, and wine/beer/spirits/condiment pairings.
