I had to ask. As an oyster lover from the Chesapeake Bay region, I do like them a raw, but I find that steaming, and other ways of cooking them greatly enhances the flavor. I'm always amazed so many say they like them raw better. I think they only have a fraction of the flavor that way.

I love them any way, but i agree they have more flavor cooked. Maybe it has something to do with the chewing and staying on the taste buds longer.

Raw

Well I do like oysters and I love them and prefer them Raw!!. If the are the huge ones then sometimes I like them cooked. I always prefer fresh and learn how to shuck them is a great skill to acquire. If you ever get a chance to go to the Northern California town of Marshall (north of golden gate bridge 40 miles by Pt. Reyes) go to hog island oyster company and talk to Micheal and order a dozen or two oyster on a tray with shucking tool attached. Bring a few beers and dine from the picnic table. You can watch them harvest the oysters from the surf and enjoy the sun burning though the early morning fog. It doesn't get better than that. Bring a jacket in case the fogs lingers around.
