A typical Friday night dinner for me in the late 1980s was 5 dozen raw Apalachicola oysters and 2x6 packsof beer

Yes, I’m neither immunocompromised, nor a pussy.

I prefer a simple mignonette and a squeeze of lemon.

If that is not an option, I’ll defer to a bit of horseradish and the same squeeze of lemon.

Which oysters?

We had FRESH oysters in Stone Croatia. Gin clear water , 40 degrees and forty feet deep. They raise them there and we were eating them after less than two minutes out of the water. I'd fly 12 hours to eat them again. Best I've ever had.

Every way but raw. If you ever know someone getting sick from eating raw oysters, you know it is a very bad idea. The "It never happened to me" crowd are very slow learners. The best way I ever had them was smoked. I'll take oyster stew over clam chowder every time.

We lived down the road from the oyster farms of Puget Sound, WA. You don't get them any tastier. Clam digging too.

Fried only. I know of one instance personally where a woman in her mid fifties died in three days after eating raw oysters. Her husband was the owner of a printing co I worked at.

I'll eat them cooked any way you make them, but not raw. I've eaten more than my share of steamed oysters with pitchers of beer...

Grew up on the Gulf Coast, so I do. Chargrilled and raw. Spent a week with some friends fishing in the Chandeleur Islands several years ago and we found a plank that was probably thirty feet long near one of the islands. It was loaded with oysters, so we knocked a couple of five gallon buckets full of oysters from it and tied a float to mark it. It was nice to have raw oysters to snack on while we fried fish for supper. FWIW, I always have to look up Chandeleur for spelling because my memory ain’t what it used to be, but I didn’t realize they were 2,000 years old or named after the Candle Mass. Interesting.

Slipped with the oyster knife year before last - managed to screw up a nerve in my thumb. .

Friend of my dad’s brought home three sacks once I was a kid and he showed me how to shuck oysters. He made me put on a glove and said to always wear a glove because it was easy for the knife to slip and cut your hand as he started opening one without a glove. As he went to open the third oyster, the knife slipped and he laid his thumb open. It’s amazing that a dull oyster knife can make such a big cut, and he ended up with a dozen stitches. His wife took him to a doctor to get it sewed up while my dad and I got started opening the rest of them. They got back right after we finished opening the three sacks and were cleaning everything up. My dad busted his balls the rest of his life about his safety lesson and how he got out of opening oysters that day.

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.

This fellow Tennesseean knows what’s up!

I used to only partake of them raw, until I got a bad one. Now I only eat them when somewhere on the weatherman's map someplace is below freezing.

Fried oysters have never appealed to me.

Steamed is where they shine. But anything but fried for me.

I created a monster when I turned my wife on to some steamed ousters that I ordered with Prime Rib once. She ate all of my oysters and I got 2 cuts of Prime Rib. Steamed is the only way she will eat them.

I threw many oyster roasts when I lived in Savannah, always a good time.

Starting about the beginning of November, there is an oyster roast every weekend somewhere in SC. Pass the hotsauce and saltines.

Ever since I was a little child. Dozens at a time. Raw, fried, charbroiled, in an artichoke soup. I’ll buy a gallon when I go to Louisiana and bring them back.

I fry them myself, or eat them on a Poboy when I go out. A perfect food.

I eat all the raw oysters I can. Either plain, or w/a squirt of lemon juice, horseradish, and hot cocktail sauce. I'll eat a few smoked or Rockefeller, but not my preference.
