I am allergic to barnacles. I hear those are supposed to make your sticker peck out though.

I had some yesterday at "Hog Island" at the Ferry Building in S.F. Some of the best oysters I've ever had, highly recommended.

Gorgeous. Oysters are a big favorite here. Most summer Saturdays, I go to the farmers' market and get a dozen.
I like them plain, with cocktail sauce, or with - I have forgotten the name of this - finely diced shallots in red wine vinegar. Oh, its mignonette.

Sort of flavorless IMO, unless you like the fresh taste of sand and other byproducts ingested by bottom feeders.

Nope. I'm not kidding. To me, they taste like dust ...gritty dust.
Was Lizzie eating or humping clams?

Nope, don't like oysters. Have had them, they go down ok with a double shot of Southern Comfort.
Clams and Scallops are ok, but I don't order them. Crab, crawfish and Shrimp are ok, lobster, slightly less.

Yum, with a +1000 for the fresh horseradish.

if i had to be nitpicky..dottore's fantastic platter of bi-valves missed something. a professional oyster shucker would take the oyster knife, free the body inside the lower shell half, and flip it over so the round side is up..
jus sayin....... i only eat them, or prefer to eat them during the cooler months. dont they breed during the summer?
