Baysed.

I've only eaten raw oysters at a chinese buffet and they tasted like cucumber flavored boogers/cum

How did you not get food poisoning?

Bay oysters are a little sweeter, as in, they're nowhere near as overly briny as ocean ones. I am a bit of a sodium fiend though

>>15367104
I envy you. Never could harvest the shellfish from the rocks and piers of my coast, because of red tide and bacteria from the septic tanks of houses. Fucking puget sound, beautiful region but they ruined it by letting people build houses within 5 miles of the sea.

Raw oysters are based, but my favourite is Chinese oyster omelette/Hangtown Fry

>>15367295
Yes, large and rich oysters from the bay are the way

>>15367332
Always wanted to try an oyster omelette

>>15367295
I live in Severn and I like Long Island Sound or Chincoteague oysters.

>>15367104
it's best to douse them in rocksalt before consuming raw in the field (it forces them to extrude all the sand and dirt because they hate raw salt) but otherwise that's a delicious, albeit mercury-rich lunch

>>15367104

why are raw bones so good

>>15367402
They're good, but just a heads up, they have a gooey kind of texture due to the batter. But if made well, it's contrasted well by the crispy outside.

If you can't find the Chinese ones, Thai make a pretty similar oyster/mussel omelette called hoy tod.

Fucking lucky bastard

I wanna live where you live

because they are like pulling a big lump of salty snot into your throat and swallowing it

I am not even saying they taste bad or that they are shit
but when I had to chose between oysters and any other edible sea creature they would come dead last simply because everything else the oceans have to offer is better

>big lump of salty snot
This. I can barely handle watching other people eating oysters. Especially since they all seem incapable of not literally slurping them. So gross.

Look good some soda crackers a little cocktail sauce and maybe some lemon and I would be in heaven

One time I went to a Chinese buffet & put a mountain of chow mein & crab legs on my plate, it seriously must've weighed 5+ pounds. I sat down & just as I was about to start eating, one of the employees said "ohhhh so good prate for big boy yum", I pushed the plate off the table & left without paying. Fucking cunt bug people. Sure I'm over 400 but that's no reason to Target your customers.

I find they sometimes need a little somethin, but the oyster, scallop and mackerel farm I used to live close to was doing something magical with their tanks (obviously salinating for the scallops at least). I've never had seafood anywhere else that had as much flavour - terroir I guess? We worked out a pretty decent barter system - I'd make him a 15gal batch of beer in one of the test kettles at work every three months, and he'd give me about 10kg of scallops, 5kg of oysters, and all the mackerel I could handle (which was like 5kg tops if people wanted mackerel). We ate like fucking kings at that brewery... well... we ate like kings in the offices next door - we didn't eat anything in the brewery.

>oysters with a dab of hot sauce
why is it so fucking good?

>I pushed the plate off the table & left without paying.
What did their facial expression look like for the whole 10 minutes it took for you to get up and walk out of the restaurant?

>>15369188
Honestly without lemon or tabasco or something they can be kinda meh maybe try them seasoned?

>>15372584
Being fat is a good thing in china lol

They probably thought you bring good luck (like the buddha)

It's a very good reason. I would reject you on that principle alone. Bug men based for once. Stop eating you fatass.
