I like them breaded and deep-fried. I never could understand swallowing them raw/whole. Eating them raw is probably your second best chance AP getting hepatitis. Might as well shoot up with a dirty needle. 😜 I've literally eaten thousands of raw oysters. Never been sick. Many years ago, I was mildly ill after eating several dozen, but it was probably the 2 gallons of beer I drank after the oysters. Then again, I've never had covid or the flu, so maybe I'm just built different.

Put 30 on the grill last night just til they opened a little, popped them open added a little butter/lemon/horseradish mix to them and served them on the half shell. They were probably half cooked and delicious. The taste raw is definitely the strongest/best to me. Especially with a couple drops of Texas Pete.

I been enjoying both oysters and clams on the half shell for the last 55 years. Local seafood restaurant used to have ‘buck a shuck’ oysters and one had to wait to be seated. We went every week. A bar I used to frequent back in the day would cook a big pot of Babbalucci (snails in seasoned tomato sauce) on Christmas Eve. Delicious. The old Italian guys had special silver or gold toothpicks to get the snails out of the shell. Never got sick from any of it.
Did have Moules Provencale in Paris years ago and lost a day or two of the holiday.

Living on the WA coast id watch them harvest them while duck hunting and stop on the way home and pick up . half dozen. Pop them open and put them on the grill with a dab of butter and a squeeze of lemon.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

The only way I will eat frozen oysters is if I can't find fresh ones and then only for oyster stew.

We had a bushel for Christmas. Shucked enough while still cold for oyster stew and steamed the rest just enough to make them easier to pop open.

Frozen oysters taste stronger than fresh even frozen right after they are shucked.

Just saw a cartoon where the restaurant owner has taken a waiter aside and is telling him, "I want you to stop calling the oysters 'the sea booger platter'".

I have no problem with you guys eating filter eaters raw, but I would rather have them breaded and fried. I just don't like the slim feeling in my mouth. But I like hot sauce on them though.

In college I used to buy a sack of oysters and my room mate and I would shell them and put them in a gallon pickle jar in our fridge. Thought I was in heaven with a constant supply of raw oysters. Ate them with a little Heinz 57 and crackers and never went hungry! Of course, today you would have to have a small fortune to buy and eat them like that anymore (in that quantity). Just another facet of going to LSU that made a indelible memory!
I still eat them but usually they are already shelled by the half pint and last 2 snacks!
