I was skeptical but a friend convinced me to try a sampler at a nice seafood restraunt (the Oceanaire) in the Twin Cities area. I did not regret it! Oh…this is the best way to have oysters!

I hadn't even though about raw oysters! Now, I am headed to Hooters in Speedway, Indiana for lunch! And, you know that a man has to have beer with his oysters.... I do like fried oysters at home - dredge in milk and coat with Japanese panko crumbs. A little lemon juice and Tabasco sauce - truly righteous...... Carry on, Sarge Damn you!

They are nothing special. The best Gulf oysters come from much farther east, around Appalachicola, Fla. Don’t worry too much about not getting Louisiana oysters. They are nothing special.

I've shucked my thumb before, right down to the bone, it hurts just thinking about it. The shuckers at the Oyster bars in N.O. always amaze me, hanging out shuckin' and jivin' with the customers and willing the ersters open with very little pressure. They hold them up in a bare hand...pop. Lots of experience. It sure is an ugly cut, or in most cases, puncture wound.

A few years ago, I was helping a friend who was managing a bar, to put on a thank-you function for his staff. I think we had ten dozen oysters to shuck, when after three or four oysters, I stabbed myself in the palm of the hand, quite deeply. My friend turned white, not from my injury (there was lots of blood), but from the thought he would have to open the oysters himself. But you know what it's like, just bandaged my hand, put on a rubber glove and kept going. Went to the doctors the next day for the tetnus shot. Hi Dan, yep, the oyster shuck cut is not the best.
