Originally Posted By Ursula Oh, noo-no-no. Heck, I don't even eat seafood of any kind. But really, enjoy! Bon Appetit!
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 No a thousand times no! Our DD's father in law (who recently passed away) was famous for his BBQ oysters. I politely gagged one down last year and now I'm glad I did, it made him happy. On the other hand, once is enough for my lifetime.
Originally Posted By Inspector 57 I ate an oyster from the half shell once because I was a waiter at a seafood restaurant and it was part of training. I also ate one each of the various ways we grilled them: Oysters Rockefeller; Oysters Whatever; Oysters Whatever Else. Not since then, and never again. But I'm glad you get such pleasure from them, SGV! Eat my share, and enjoy!

Originally Posted By MomluvsDisney YUMMMMMYYYYYY...Love those especially with a little lemon juice and a touch of horshradish. A friend does them in the half shell with a little beer and hot sauce.

Originally Posted By wonderingalice Add to the list mussels, shrimp, lobster, crab, squid, clams, scallops, tuna (raw, cooked, smoked, seared - it's all good), yellowfish, mackeral, salmon (raw is the best for those), eel (cooked on sushi), swordfish, sea bass, caviar, salmon and smelt roe (fish eggs for sushi) ... I love pretty much ANY seafood with the exception of octopus (unlike squid, it's a tough) chew, not tender) and surf clam (again, a texture thing more than flavor), and someone would have to pay me BIG $$ to even try urchin - just too nasty-looking. *LOL* Now that I've probably TOTALLY grossed out the seafood haters... ;-)

They're best when you can down the whole thing in one blast. Old Fashion glasses hold too much liquid. Pop 'em... savor the oyster a bit and gulp 'er down!
