if you are into em its a bit like wine tasting where you can pick up on notes like watermelon, cucumber, meatiness, briny, buttery, etc.

They're great, must try food when you visit a coast. Nothing better than fresh raw oysters. Definitely get em with mignonette if presented with the opportunity.

>> No.11378645

>>11378274
I really like em. There's this place in charleston that has them pretty cheap. You can get gulf oysters for a dollar a piece. They have several from 1-3 dollars from different locations. It's pretty interesting to see how they vary in flavor based upon where they were raised. The gulf oysters are pretty mild and succulent. I had one from Massachussets and it was really briny and intense.

If you're iffy on them by themselves, they're still really delicious with mingonette, horseradish or cocktail sauce.

I can see why people don't like the texture. They are pretty slimy. If you already don't like seafood you're going to hate oysters.

Oysters are really good. Just don't get them from some shithole place. Also don't be a meming faggot and suck them out of the shell like a mongoloid, just use a fork. The traditional accompaniments of lemon, tobasco, and horseradish are all nice, but most of the time I just use lemon alone.

It's just preference, man. who cares. I like oysters.

NYC hipsters would eat a shoe heel if you told them it was "artisinal". They'd describe it as earthy and complex and then tell flyovers they're uncultured for not eating shoe heels.

That being said, I think if you are culinary minded you can appreciate a flavor without necessarily enjoying it all that much.

Southern Louisiana oysters are the best in the world, especially when it's cold, big, salty, and full of flavor, tried oysters from all over the world, and so far, nola oysters have trumped all of them by a long shot, family has been catching oysters since the 1910s and one of the most underrated seafoods

Raw and fried on a poboy is the patrician way to eat oysters, but god damn I do love them flame cooked

But if you eat them raw make sure it's cold in the gulf and you aren't shucking them, got some pretty nasty diseases that you can get from that shit, cleaning them is a huge bitch, but worth it

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)
