Props to the first guy who popped open an oyster and thought to himself, "Well, I think I'm going to enjoy putting that slimy blob of snot in my mouth and eating it!" All jokes aside, my ex liked 'em raw with lots of Horseradish, but I preferred them deep fried, grilled or in oyster stew.
Sorry, have been sampling gulf oysters for 50 years hoping that I will one day eat one that compares to an Atlantic coast or tributary oyster. So far very disappointing. Years ago when there was slim pickings in the Chesapeake region we would buy fresh gulf oysters and soak them overnight in our waters to "season" them up. Night and day difference.
@josephbennett728 But have you eaten many from the Chesapeake or from the Atlantic. A lot of people say the Gulf Oysters aren't any good . I have no idea , I can't afford them and don't have access to them unless you buy them in a plastic container usually from the plant in Pass Christian.
