The best raw oysters I've ever had were in New Orleans. Just $13 for a dozen of absolutely massive oysters that were just pulled from the water hours before. Truly an incredible meal.

Typically, the colder the water the more flavourful the shellfish. So while the oysters in the southern US are tasty they don't match up to those found in cold ocean water. Try a Malpeque or a Raspberry Point oyster from Prince Edward Island, Canada, and you will see what I mean.

@shino8854 3 жыл бұрын

Only eat them if the month has a R in them i.e November, December etc etc. Also always chew the oyster before swallowing, if it taste anything but the usual taste, spit it out and announce proudly to everyone...you don't swallow.

The one local bar near me called Cole's public House in Amherst Ohio (sorry had to give them a shout out) always had a standard menu but then they changed up a lot of the other things like they always had oysters Rockefeller but the oysters on the half shell they would serve them plain with cocktail sauce or just lemon whatever you prefer and they would always come up with something creative like the one time it was a soy Ginger with cucumber and then one other time I'm pretty sure that they put a little bit of rice wine vinegar they minced up pickled ginger and I couldn't place the name of the third ingredient but I know they put something else in there and they were out of this world

Yo I was gonna say nice work on getting the cultural ambassador from the local government there onto your show, that's pretty neat and legit. In actuality I paused before pressing Comment and googled her name and found out she isn't the cultural ambassador, Irvin Mayfield is. I get that it might seem cool to throw that tag under her name but come on, that's not that different from putting 'Mayor' under her name - it's misleading, especially to people out of area. I also found that she entertains the myths of ghosts and a myriad of other lunacy, so please can you refrain from whacking legitimate labels on random people in the future? Also no politics videos please, you guys aren't buzzfeed or some other bottom-tier clickbait.

I’m from New England and the oysters here are delicious. I lived in Florida for 7 years and I found the oyster shells were heavily encrusted with barnacles, and even smaller oysters stuck to them. You couldn’t get a shucked oyster to lay on a platter without it tipping over. The taste was fine but not the same clean briny flavor of a cold water oyster. To each his own I guess.
