They probably didn't, likely someone ate a raw oyster out of hunger, and then we've harvested wild ones until marine biologists figured out enough about their lifecycle that they could be farmed reliably
felt. but dont worry. society wants you to conform to their cookie cutter set up. be yourself and revel in the fact that your not like everyone else. because you cant extraordinary by just being ordinary.
Oysters| how it's made....... You see when a mommy oyster and a dad oyster fall in love... some bearded guy puts them in a bucket and films them making baby oysters and posts the video on the internet.
GermanBurleyLover 320 haha Americans are so stoopid, right? They use a DIFFERENT SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT THAN US *slaps knee*! Imagine NOT using the same system as us! How embarrassing! Such a BAD system, where division ACTUALLY works!
GermanBurleyLover 777 dude no, we’re not “neanderthals” because our previous generation refused to accept anything new. sure, the metric system is practically superior in every way, but it would still take a very long time to rework every single thing to accommodate the metric system. i live in texas, the most ‘murica place around, and i can read the metric system well. i thought we were the ones who stereotype/generalize other countries constantly, but i guess not. stop being a smug (xenophobe? can’t think of the right word) and learn that not all americans are stupid. just the boomers.
In the TV series, he loved them. To outdo another diner in a restaurant, he was downing a dozen by the second. When the other questioned their freshness to the waiter, the waiter gave them a smell, and discovered they were off, then removed them from the buffet. Mr. Bean saw this with a petrified look on his face. By the next scene, he had the runs.
I don’t even like oysters but this answered so many questions and shown me visuals of actual things I was always curious about like how the the shells grow and what not
I absolutely love oysters, but after watching this I am baffled at their cost. They are absolutely numerous and far easier to produce than many fish. Also why don't we see any curators producing 2 lbs oysters? Is the flesh no good by that age?
Here are some reasons that might contribute to the cost: --> Fish can be farmed in way more places than oysters can. Oyster production usually requires tidal flats near river mouths with low to no pollution, specific salinities, and mild temperatures. The number of locations which meet these requirements are relatively limited, especially when you consider that humans love building factories, farms, and cities (all of which are huge sources of pollution) next to rivers for trade (economical) and irrigation (logistical) reasons. With fish you still need clean water but it doesn’t have nearly as many other constraints. --> In-shell oysters have a high ratio of heavy inedible shell to meat content. When you buy a live oyster at a store you mostly pay for the shell which is by far the heaviest part (and therefore responsible for most of the shipping cost). Fish and shrimp on the other-hand have a much higher meat to bone/shell ratio. --> Live oysters have very short shelf lives (about a week). Fish and shrimp can be flash frozen and stay good for several months. --> Out-of-shell oysters must be shucked by hand, which is a slow, labor-intensive, and hazardous task. --> Many consumers eat oysters because they’re considered a ‘fancy food’. If they were super cheap they wouldn’t be considered fancy anymore. As to why they don’t grow oysters to their full size: --> An oyster of that size cannot be eaten whole (the most common way to eat them). --> Bigger older oysters generally taste much worse than the small ones and have an unpleasant texture. --> It would be uneconomical to produce and ship oysters of that size. --> Older oysters have accumulated higher levels of pollutants and heavy metals.
Wild oyster has grit, pearls debris Same with mussels That's why the oysters usually has no tooth breaking stuff at restaurants and stores I found a 1/4 inch mussel pearl
Oysters, mmm. Lol, as a kid I always thought they were disgusting, but when I became an adult I realized they were delicious! I'm having some this week.
This is a very informative video. Thank you. For as much as I love oysters, I never inquired into the farming methods. I also never realized that the majority of the oysters we consume are farmed. I was naïve enough to think they were wild caught. - Now I need to go to the grocery store to get some oysters. ~ I have always loved raw oysters. I usually eat them with (fresh) lemon juice, salt and cocktail sauce. Lately, I have taken to eating them with soy sauce and sliced spring onion. I find that combination a welcome change.
The Oyster Bar in VA Beach at Pacific and Atlantic Aves is great! Last time I was there happy hour was from 4 to 7 and raw, fried, or Rockefeller style which are delicious are a buck a piece and the Jaws beer 🍺 Nassatucket lager was 2 bucks a can! I dipped a few raw ones in a white vinegar cracked black pepper mix and it tasted almost as good as dipping steamed blue crab 🦀 meat in it! My all time favorite is a shot of Louisiana Red 🔴 Dot hot sauce, little squirt of fresh lemon 🍋 juice sitting a top a saltine cracker dude!!!
Pizza Dip they dont even meet, they just cum and the water carries eggs and semen to each other. Imagine fapping and your semen reaching a vagina vía air
@@Buddhadan100 So Wtf is Wrong to ask If an oyster is "Shooting its Load"? You're Actually the one having dirty thoughts, even you've said you're 10, jackass 😑
That method of growing them is really productive. I bet they could use that same method to regrow the wild populations. They really only need to start a colony, because they'll obviously sustain themselves. It's of interest, because they filter the water, and clean water is really awesome to look at.
0:33 - 0:46 I'm certain this is the Seasalter Shellfish Co., near where I grew up in Thanet. They supply the juvenile oysters to fishers in Whitstable, where there's an annual oyster event there.
Honestly I want to give a big shout out to How It’s Made for pretty much always being upfront about how gross or fucked up the production of a product is. They don’t tell you it’s fucked up but they just tell you the facts. Oysters are farmed because we destroyed the oceans. Bubble gum is plastic that you eat. :)
I live on the mediterranean sea in Alexandria, used to gather a similar type of oysters off the rocks and small islands, it's similar to oysters but small as a pestachio and more flat color is grey mixed with blue or violet, after gathering it i put in a cold water and leave it for like 5 to 10 minutes and it opens up it's shells, at that moment i put it under the running tap water to clean out the sands with the help of some vinegar to kill bacteria, then i take it out from water and add the lemon, it tastes very nice as an appetizer it needs no cook, but gets a little tricky some times to open up the shells as it closes as soon as you touch it :D , Yes you eat it alive xD it's the best way to eat it, we have that pearl oysters but it's bigger and has to be cooked nice too, Sea urchins also very nice it's the one like ball with hard long pointy spikes, crack it open add the lemon and enjoy :) *A bit of advice DON'T try to get near it if you don't know how to pick it up as some types are poisonous and it's painful like hell you may need a medical care*
That looks so nasty. My brother bought an oyster once when he was 10, he almost threw up when he ate it. Maybe wasn't a good age to try it, but since that I never wanted to try it myself. Looks scary to me anyway and don't care for seafood.
Oyster and mussel are my favorite clam-like shellfishes. If I had to think of the favorite in the entire shellfish category, shrimps are No.1 and Oysters are No. 2.
Oysters were originally the food of the poor who lived on the coast and ate them straight off the rocks from their colonies. Many capital cities had large oyster colonies which were eventually dwindled away. In New York children used to shuck oysters. Now they are a fine dining delicacy consumed in the millions and farmed all around the world.
