Oysters are pretty good here in Puget Sound, but I've never liked them raw. Fried, yes, raw, no. However this year I've shied away from Puget Sound Oysters altogether since February for some reason: http://www.seattletimes.com/se...ed-wastewater-plant/ King County is dumping raw wastewater including sewage into Puget Sound at the rate of 50 million gallons a day as its damaged West Point Treatment Plant limps at half capacity during heavy rain. The untreated effluent, about 90 percent stormwater and 10 percent raw sewage, is being dumped from an emergency outfall pipe a few hundred feet offshore in water about 50 feet deep at West Point, said Doug Williams, King County spokesman. | |||

Don't like shucking 'em but eating them raw? Yup, with a splash of Tabasco. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "And it's time that particularly, some of our corporations learned, that when you get in bed with government, you're going to get more than a good night's sleep." - Ronald Reagan | |||

Love them with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "If dogs don't go to Heaven, I want to go where they go" Will Rogers The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own... | |||

I really used to enjoy them, as did my wife, but she convinced me to forego them due to health concerns. So now I enjoy them in a po' boy. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Never had chunky snot on a half shell, or any other kind of snot for that matter. Can you enlighten us as to how you gained your knowledge for the comparison?  Life moves pretty fast.

Ick. Not even in an oyster shooter. | |||

Too clever by half |
Prefer them fried, but I'll take them any way I can get them. On the half shell with cocktail sauce, lemon and a smidge of horseradish, is great. Put that concoction in a large shot glass filled with a crisp lager and you have a Moister Oyster. Local resort offers Angry Oysters, fried topped with a bit of buffalo wing sauce. Outstanding! Don't like to think real hard about what they've been eating, though. "We have a system that increasingly taxes work, and increasingly subsidizes non-work" - Milton Friedman | |||

Small, sweet ones with a squeeze of lemon and a dash of Tabasco. I'm not even going to look at Shugart's link.

I really like the big Cape May salts because I really feel like I'm tasting the essence of the ocean. Love the smell and taste. I'll throw some lemon juice on and some horseradish everyone and then if I feel it will enhance the flavor. | |||

Raw? No. Grilled in the half-shell with butter, garlic, chives, and parmesan. Those I'll eat till the cows come home. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Love oysters raw with cocktail sauce and horseradish, no crackers also love them fried with tarter sauce! | |||

These are out of the Chesapeake Bay last year.  I'm not big on eating them but I DM on a boat a few times a year to take divers out to dive for them. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

I used to love raw oysters, but a friend got hepatitis from raw oysters, had to quit drinking beer, not a happy camper. Now I only eat then fried, but I dearly love them if they are cooked properly (not fried too hard so that there is still some moisture in them). My dad and I used to harvest our own when I was a kid, they were really good. | |||

If they're REALLY good and fresh, I can eat 2 or 3 on the half shell and then I'm set for another few years. But fry them up and put them on a poboy? Yeah....that's the shiznit right there. Place in Kenner, LA (The Harbor...3203 Williams Blvd.) has THE best poboys on the face of this planet hands down. There's a place in downtown Baton Rouge that comes in a close second...

Love them. In my old age I've come to appreciate the taste treat of the different varieties. Like mine with fresh lemon and may a little Tabasco but not to much that it covers up the subtle flavors. When I'm near the ocean, we pig out on them. Here in the Great Lakes State, I stick to upper end seafood places that fly them in so they are really fresh. That all said I like them fried, stewed or smoked as well. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||

Absolutely, delicious, with one drop of lemon juice. Even better when on top of a seafood tower at Hanks in Charleston SC. Oysters have a delicate flavor so I'm entertained when I see fellow diners flop it on a saltine and drench it in hot sauce. To each there own I guess. | |||

Yes but only if I am with someone who will eat them first and confirm they are fresh, briney with no fishy flavor what-so-ever. Then I will happily eat a couple. Clams are another story and I will eat them however I can get them. | |||
