I might have to find some oysters this weekend...

Dude, I want oysters too.  I will be in Cape May though and it is shockingly difficult to find oysters at a seafood market in Cape May.  Tons of crab, fish and shrimp, but not often oysters.  Might go on a mission this weekend though.

I may be thinking that it's early in the season and my plight for fresh local oysters may be in vain...

Probably. I also just don't think the markets sell a ton to summer tourists, so they don't really stock them.  If people eat them they eat them out, but if they are bringing seafood home, its crabs.

Erm, no thanks.  Tastes like a loogey.  

Your loogies must be exceptional to taste like that and any woman that kissed you must have been in aphrodisiac heaven!

Oysters.... something I have mixed feelings about.  Some are out of this world good....raw, baked, grilled, fried, in shooters, etc
Some are just blah.

Love doing the sack of oysters thing fresh off the boat in Louisiana.  We end up tossing some back into the bayou at some point when there are only a few of us at camp.  Only so many one person can eat but we make a pretty savage go at it.

How do you eat 'em, Tempo?

So being blessed to live in an area that has a oyster called the Blue Point.  It is one of THE best if not the best oysters in the US.  You eating oysters in Florida or Maine?  Most likely a Blue Point.

Anywho I eat them raw.  I don't mind a dash of hotsauce or even some horseradish but preferred raw.  Had some off of a grill and they were amazing too so if I can have them half shelled and grilled, yes please!

Raw with lemon, horseradish and hot sauce there to toss a bit on occasionally.

Do these grilled.

To me this ruins the oyster with all the butter and cheese.  It's like putting steaksauce on a good cut of beef.  It will taste good, yes, I just don't need all of that on a good tasting oyster.

I hear you and I wouldn't use top notch oysters for this, but it is banging.

No more oysters for Cliffy.

I have said it before and I will say it again, being allergic to shellfish isn't such a horrible thing.  Oyster descriptions freak me out.

I had my one and only raw oyster during a fabulous dinner out here with F Me and some other good friends. It wasn’t bad per se, but not that mind-blowing “wow” I’ve gotten from sushi.

Sadly, my raw fish days are over, so glad I tried it when I could. 

(I also had a buddy get Hep A from eating raw oysters in Mexico.)

I made this and it's my GF's favorite dish as of now.

It doesn't mention rice but if you want it I'd recommend starting the rice before any prep so that the dish and the rice are done around the same time.

Hedo, down to try most anything. 

Agree that oysters vs sushi is a losing battle for oysters.

Calling on @jlaustin to discuss oysters!!!

dankind

I doubt that I'll get to see Big Daddy at the 'Comber this summer. And that makes me very sad. Not as sad as all the sick and dead people, of course, but very sad nonetheless.

Love oysters!!!  Ditched Tempo in 2016 to eat oysters everyday during the 2016 Boston shows. Island Creek Oyster Company is a great place to order fresh oysters shipped to your door! Pricey, but oh so good!! It wouldn't be a Pearl Jam road trip without slurping some oysters! Right, @DerbyDave? Here's some delicious east coast ones, salty, briny, crisp - my favorites.

Love you guys, love this thread!

That's desperation food lol

Leeann chose wisely.

On more than a few dining out occasions, I've ordered a dozen oysters as both an appetizer and a dessert. My wife and kids will get whatever shitty chocolate thing is on the dessert menu; I'll ask for another dozen Wellfleets.

In 2018, finally got to travel to Seattle and try some West Coast ones.
