Do you eat oysters?

Pan fried! Hell yes! One of my favorite meals.
Also grilled in the shell is decent as well. Have to admit, got sick as hell from some I collected myself once. That is life I guess. Sure not eating any raw- I do a lot of salmon and tuna fishing, clamming, gathering oysters, killing deer and elk, etc… Not eating any of that raw! |

Yes. Over the last few years, possibly in excess. I am near enough to the coast I can go get boat bags. They tend to be 70lbs (iirc) and have about 24 dozen in a bag. Was doing 3 bags or so a winter. So imagine 2 weeks of 2 dozen raw a day type excess (ok probably closer to 4 weeks) - then go and get another bag.
Slipped with the oyster knife year before last - managed to screw up a nerve in my thumb. Only got 35lb last year - and was still nervous with the shelling. Other thing is quality has been going down to some extent. First year (covid year - wholesale was cheap as hell that year) was all good bags. 2 years ago I threw away most of the first bag - they were all crap. Production is down due to bays being closed. 3 years ago bays started getting closed, 2 years there was really only one bay was open - not sure if the problem was the bay or transportation. Wholesale I used died, new management may have screwed up the transportation (owner died week before oyster season, so they were still messed up when they got their first shipments). Only got a 35 bag of imported this year and even the imported were not that great this year. |

Hell no! I don't care how they're cooked or if they're raw. They're nasty as hell, to me.
I also had a cousin die from eating them (true story). |
|
Shuck me, suck me, eat me raw I'm an oyster. Of coarse I eat oysters.
|
|
Yes!, but only raw with lemon juice and a little horse radish.
In my misspent Florida youth, I could get 10cent oysters (when in season) and 25cent drafts on Thursday nights at the Purple Porpoise between 3 and 5pm. Best $5 meal I ever had in my life. |

I used to when I lived in Louisiana. My brother in law got some bad oysters once and it was really bad for a while.

I'm going to see my favorite oyster shucker tomorrow evening for dinner. Depending on his recommendation, will probably get a dozen raw and a dozen chargrilled.

You realize that AZ is a desert right? The ability of some companies to get fresh (as possible) seafood here should be a standard for USA companies. It's not cheap but it's OK, remember these are not just just your standard selections such as "Atlantic" or "Pacific" the rotation, and information that give you when ordering is awesome. |

I used to love them raw until I got sick once. I thought I was dying.
Now I love them all ways but raw. |
|
I like them raw but also I grill them on the half shell topped with onions, cheese, and bacon. I like them more when the weather is cold.

I only eat oysters in months that end with R. Rockefeller is my preferred choice.

Raw from the Puget Sound or Charbroiled in New Orleans are my favorites

It was a desperate, desperate man who said “let’s crack that rock open and eat whatever - literally anything - that falls out of it.

My first real job was at "The Red Lobster,'' on the west side with Ft Worth Tx back when minimum wage was like 1.85 an hour.
I used to watch the prep guy shucking oysters and placing them on trays on the back line. In the cooler, boxes of oysters had this smell about them you know? Never tried them even though this guy always joked around trying to get me to try one but I never did. They looked gross and to the touch felt slimy. |

Hell yes.
Raw preferred, with horseradish and hot sauce. Just never fried. |
