Slimey is imagination, they behave like what they are. Whatb would you expect something that livers its life under water to be like? It's not like I haven't tried it, a couple of times in fact. I don't like Sushi either. If it's not a desperate survival situation, raw things are always cooking to at least medium rare.

A good salty oyster is hard to beat in the winter. The only regret I have about retiring is that I don't have access to buying good oysters on my way home from work.

I like them breaded and deep-fried. I never could understand swallowing them raw/whole. While I enjoy them raw, I too prefer them deep fried.

Sadly I remember when we could buy a bushell of oysters form $12,00 and a burlap sach of clams for $10.00 and we could get what were called bar shrimp at the time it the local watering holes for free. Bar Shrimp were jumbo shrimp steamed in beer and old bay seasoning.

Love 'em on the half shell. Just before I went to 'Nam, four of us watched the Super Bowl and split a burlap bag of oysters, five pounds of shrimp, and a case of beer. I think there were 13 dozen oysters in that bag. We shucked 'em and slurped 'em like there was no tomorrow. (And going to 'Nam as FACs there might not be many, either!)
Haven't been able to pig out on 'em that way since, especially when they got to be upwards of $2 an oyster most places.
Have also waded in the Indian River of Florida for clams. Keep one extra hard one as an anvil and bang the rest to crack 'em open. Slurp 'em right out of the river.
Never got sick from any of it. That, however, was long enough ago that bay pollution wasn't as bad as now.

When we’d go to the Cup races at Bristol would stop for a couple to-go to buckets of deep-fried Oysters at a sea food restaurant just outside of Wytheville VA. They were delicious. Maybe someone who lives in the area knows the restaurant I’m talking about.

Some spelling errors can be corrected by a vowel movement.
