Why do people eat raw oysters? They don't taste very good to me

They do to me.

I use to eat them a lot but then I realized the only real flavor you taste is the salt water and the horseradish/cocktail sauce. Fried taste pretty good but looks soooo gross. Also have a mental aversion to them after I was drunk shucking them and almost sliced my femoral. Had to get a bunch of stitches and had bad food poisoning for a couple days. There are just so many better tasting things to eat that are 1/10 the price so I don’t see the point anymore

I love raw oysters but hate to shuck them. That’s why I love New Orleans.
Cooking an oyster changes it completely.

Never had them rockefeller, what's it like? There's a place near me that has what they call "mardi gras oysters", it's broiled oysters with crab meat, butter, and cheese. Not big on the cheese, but other than that it was really good.

I enjoy raw oysters but they're not particularly flavourful, there's a reason even the nicest places will give you a bunch of condiments. It sorta tastes like a refreshing, cool load of cum in your mouth

>> No.17543154

Agreed they taste like slimy shit. A nicely seared scallop though and I'm game

>> No.17543172

>>17543114
a very small number of cheeses can pair with oysters imo. rockefeller is just baked with some good stuff on top of the halfshell, mixture of breading and goodies.
with rockefeller you can eat them out of the shell with a little bitty fork and actually chew into them.

to coastals really eat this vile shit right out of the ocean? that looks like some snot and phlegm from a pneumonia patient

This, it has such a slimy consistency lol

Its funny because the people you typically see shelling out for oysters at fancy places are straight men with high powered jobs and they eat sea jizz to be powerful and high status lmao

I'm a faggot so I like the taste but I don't get why the oyster demographic is and not what I'd expect it to be.

Raw I don't know, sometimes people like to throw away money to try to make themselves look impressive. Personally I don't like raw oysters, they're even vile looking, but fried ones are quite fine by me.
To me oysters aren't the problem, it's the preparation as raw v. cooked.

Why is someone picky because they have preferences? Draw that shit out and you might as well be going out with nigs and pretending to be a savage.
To me you come across as a moron that has no preferences and would just as fuck a donkey as well as a beautiful woman.

i went to an oyster bar in seattle thinking i'd spend 30 bucks. it was 80 dollars for 12 fucking oysters. They were pretty good though.

personally i think the best way to eat oysters is smoked with garlic butter and parmesan.
