fucking awesome - the taste of a good oyster will vary from briny to minerally to sweet, and the textures run from creamy to slimy, to oily and rich
The taste is determined mostly by their place of origin; they filter food from the water to eat and take on the flavour (intensify even) of those waters
They need to be fresh af (alive when opened), and properly filtered (unless you're getting them from super clean waters)

By definition - free range has space to roam, whereas other chickens will be raised in barns or cages
The idea behind eating free range chicken (besides ethical concerns) is that they are less stressed and have exercise resulting in better tasting meat. Most of the time the difference is negligible though, although you can get chicken that is raised in free enough conditions with a superior diet (corn fed is the obvious one) that you can see better quality meat (this is also often to do with breeds)

This is the case - the best chicken you can eat will inevitably be a small farm or on large estates and live off whatever it wants. The flavour and quality of meat is unbeatable, as are the eggs
