1. Give!

We eat them on the half shell with a shot of Tobasco, Worcester sauce and lemon juice. Tastes like the ocean!

3. A Bloody Mary and an oyster in one? Sign me up!

A bar near us used to do it differently; they'd empty out the brine then fill the shell with vodka, topped with a jalapeno slice and cocktail sauce. Heavenly!

I love oysters. We have an excellent local seafood market near us with fresh native oysters from CT, MA, RI, and usually a couple from the Pacific Northwest or Canada. I've gotten pretty good at shuckin' 'em myself.

4. Give me...

but I prefer them straight up, on the half shell, with just a little touch of lemon juice (and not all of the other flavor-masking sauces and things they usually serve them with).

5. Assuming there's vodka in there somewhere

hell yes.

but just eating raw oysters I can take or leave - mostly leave.

When I was still just a boy I dated a girl who wanted me to take her to an oyster bar. She ordered a dozen raw and ate all but the one she made me try. I handled it poorly and that was the beginning of the end for us.

I can eat them now without making a scene but I'd just rather not. Cracker and hot sauce required.

12. There is indeed vodka! 😋

6. Actually I prefer oysters on the half shell.

But these will do in a pinch.

7. No, NO, NO, give me a bucket of clams - whole clams - not those clam strips -

Warm drawn buttah, and a glass of wine....real nice café on RT20 in Concord Mass...when on a motorcycle run..stop in..and indulge...actually henny clam café in and around Boston will do....

Okay, Okay...many like an oyster shooter....many like a raw egg shooter too!

15. I'll take raw oysters on saltine crackers w/ a dab of horseradish and cocktail sauce

I have autoimmune issues, so I haven't had it in years. Last oyster place I was at, I got some weird looks for eating the above but without the oyster (Saltine with horseradish and cocktail sauce).
