Have you ever eaten freshly opened raw oysters on the half-shell?!
Have you ever eaten freshly opened raw oysters on the half-shell?
If yes, What is the most you have ever eaten at one sitting?
My record before 1998 was 8 dozen
And now after my surgery, I'm thrilled just to manage 2 dozen.
Answers: I had 3 dozens! It was a family gathering at a hotel and we were having international buffet dinner. My father in law joked that if I didn't stop eating, the hotel would go bankrupt. ... I've enjoyed both oyster shooters and Oysters on the Half Shell, but I've never had more than two or three at a sitting.
It's not that I dislike them, I just prefer Oysters Rockefeller. I'm really impressed!
I haven't done THAT many, but did manage 2 doz in New Orleans - but they were big ones.
One was sooo big I tried to close my lips arounbd it and couldn't. Who ever heard of having to cut an oyster in half?
Heal quickly!
. No it doesn't appeal to me . Our ones now are just too damn expensive now, over $20 a dozen, so it is a treat for us to have 6 each.
There are cheaper Oysters, like Pacific, but they are bland when compared to the Bluff oyster. HEY, you GO!
I went to the oyster bar in Manhattan after work one day and slurped down three dozen of the beauties... then had a bowl of oyster stew, and followed that with one more dozen...
I LOVE THEM. A dry Chardonney on the swill...
Some people call it "eating snot" and I say t'snot! no way. I love a good raw bivalve, LOVE IT!
8 DOZEN??? I think I could I think I could I think I could...
ps, I thought nobodyintexasdoesthat! hahaha Yes I have. I think I had like 12. Usually I just eat one if I do have one straight off the half-shell.
I've never eaten them at a resturaunt or anything, just when my dad used to bring them home from Pass Christian in big sacks. He would sit on the back porch with his gloves and knife and crack those things open one by one.
They're actually amazingly good with a saltine and some cocktail sauce made of horseradish and ketchup. Really, truly, honest to Simon and Garfunkel, they are surprisingly tasty. Just be sure to also have a bowl of breathmints after that, or you'll knock out anyone in a five-mile radius if you happen to yawn. I had one at a chinese buffet with my mom and step sister. The funny thing is, my mom got grossed out. Sh'e the one that got me hooked on sushi, and yet she cant stand a raw oyster on the 1/2 shell! i tried one.could not get past texture Yes, it tastes horrible ewack,i don't like it so just one.wow you should be on records.8 dozen thats alot,but i understani can eat like two galons of icecream at a sitting with the TV on ofcourse. Oysters, no. We have tons of clams where I live, all sizes but mostly the largest of the hardshelled clams, which are called called quahogs. They are about as big as the back of your hand. I love them raw on the halfshell. Most people think they are disgusting but I could eat 2 or 3 dozen by myself. I can't eat more than that. Not that I don't want to. The family grabs the rest and steams them to eat with tons of melted butter.
