Yumm! Oysters!!

I don't know if anyone else likes oysters, but I have been getting some really good ones (shucked pints) lately from my local food lion. They had been only carrying some from Washington state, and those were really hit and miss on the quality. These now are east coast oysters from Elizabeth City NC and Weems, VA. Fry 'em up in some Zatarain's oyster breading and I'm in heaven (or the outer banks, pretty much the same thing!)

Once again, products from the Eastern part of this great land proving to be superior to anything else. And everyone knows that the best cheddar cheese comes from New York or Vermont, and New York apples are MUCH better than anything that comes out of Washington state.

Oysters are disgusting! Cut one open sometime - you'll think you mistakenly carved up an alien - green slime oozing all over the place. Now, Rocky Mountain Oysters on the other hand are a delicacy.

I agree with aerocolorado, Mountain Oysters are a real treat, and you work up an appetite collecting them. My wife has even decided that they are good after having them for the first time after we got married (didn't tell her what they where until after the first helping) .

SORRY, the best oysters come from south Louisiana.Anytime we are fishing we can reach down and get fresh oysters eaten on the spot.Its a combination of fresh and salt water and the nutrients in the water.

I'd have a hard time putting ********* in my mouth, and there is no way that I would even think of eating anything raw that lived in water. Especially on the east coast.

I have a simple rule do not eat anything that swims in it’s own _ _ _ _ ...slides down your throat, or you have to break into the little bugger’s house to get to it.

Also never, eat anything...that on the label of ingredients
says……………40% “other”

Oysters on the half shell over ice, I died and went to heaven.

Mountain oysters are pretty good to if they are cooked enough.
