The appeal is that they’re good. They can be extremely good.
But if they’re bad, they’re really really bad. I think too many people have tried the latter at some shitty place you shouldn’t eat oysters at.
Pic is of a fricking delicious grilled oyster I had in Hiroshima about 6 weeks ago.
It's Japan. They do shit like this. Literally every restaurant over there has some sort of gimmick to set it apart from every other restaurant.
Kinda surprised it's not from a place closer to (or within) Nara than Hiroshima.

>Kinda surprised it's not from a place closer to (or within) Nara than Hiroshima.
It was on the island of Itsukushima right next to that massive temple ground and “floating shrine”.
It’s pretty much the same as Nara as far as deer go. The main difference is Itsukushima asks you not to feed them, and Nara encourages it.

can confirm hiroshima grilled oysters are oishii af
Yeah there’s a lot weird with that presentation. >oysters look like they were shucked with a hammer >big pile of ice >.. except under the actual oysters
I really don’t care if the condiments are ice cold.
I live in a place renowed for the quality of its oysters and I say : you're not missing anything.
I wouldn't say oysters taste good (which is subjective) ; however they are objectively overpriced
agreed on this, they're for the most part overpriced but if you can get them for cheap they're quite tasty. Ideally you'd go forage on a beach for the so they're free, but if you're close to a place that harvests them you can usually get them for cheap, whereas if you buy in a supermarket, or gods forbid a farmers market, you will be overcharged and more than likely get a small one. Restaurants usually have good sized ones but again they overcharge.
>You now remember that dumbass that made a dozen Oysters Rockefeller for a study group and no one wanted to eat them because they looked like cow shit in a shell and he got all butthurt and had to eat a dozen oyster by himself
>You now remember that dumbass that made a dozen Oysters Rockefeller for a study group and no one wanted to eat them because they looked like cow shit in a shell and he got all butthurt and had to eat a dozen oyster by himself
bro that's how to ensure you dont have to share food with people. i bring seafood to my brother's because only he and i like it so we dont have to split it with anyone else
How fresh do oysters need to be? There are a couple places that sell them(pre shucked) but I live a few hours from the coast so I'm nervous to buy them
They’re probably good if they’re from a reputable fish monger or upper class supermarket how far you are from the coast is a meme with modern day logistics they just fly them in which Is why they’re expensive
>How fresh do oysters need to be?
they need to be ALIVE when you eat them
do not eat a dead oyster or your mom will find you dead on the toilet covered in bloody shit
If they are stored in a fish cooler, which is to say colder than a normal fridge, they will stay pretty good for at least a couple days after shucking, but they are definitely best when they're freshly shucked and it only takes a few seconds to shuck one if you're experienced.
t.cook in a restaurant that serves oysters who sometimes takes home a few shucked ones that for some reason didn't end up being served.
idk, they're alright I guess. My parents really like them. I don't mind eating them occasionally, but I'd rather leave them for people who appreciate them more. I do get the appeal though, it's a unique taste and texture
Goddd i love oysters fresh on ice with the lemon <3 lemon and the fresh oyster thats so cold and straight from the cold rivers of Newhampshire bay … and its slightly salty and the soul of the ocean and the texture hottt i love cum too
I have never tried oysters but I think the appeal of them must be that they taste good.. I also think the aesthetic of them being in a shell and on ice makes them seem appetizing.
>what is the appeal of oysters?
Expensive, fresh, only seasonal. Their flavor is just the ocean water taste, kind of mineral-like. >I'm alergic to sea food so I cannot eat them, are they good?
Most of the flavor will be the lemon or wienertail sauce. It's low fat, so not a bad choice to pair with a single wienertail.
For whatever reason, I always think I'm going to be infected with parasites if I eat anything from the sea. Some weird slimy shit inside a shell? That's just asking for trouble.
I work in the seafood department of a grocery store that’s, like half a tier below whole foods. Our oysters don’t sell very quickly so we end up with the same ones for weeks. Of course they’re still alive, and kept iced and stuff, but how great can they be? Me I’ve only tried a live oyster once at a restaurant. Was okay. I’d try it again but I can’t say I liked it.
Never had any customers complain so ours must be fine, but we’re still 2700 km away from Newfoundland where they come from. Should I be throwing them out after a certain amount of time even if they’re still alive?
Some people love them, some hate them.
Fresh with lemon and dry white wine I really enjoy them, we usually have them around Christmas around here (France).
Where in the frick do you live?
I’m nowhere near an ocean, but I don’t pay that.
Hell, if you’re in driving distance to a Whole Foods, they do special every Friday of 1doz oysters for $12
Wholefoods is out of the way enough for me that it's usually not worth driving to but after a bad experience with oysters from a local grocer and the $2 a piece bullshit from a seafood specialty place, I might have make the trip.

grilled? its raw
>can’t tell the difference between grilled and raw oysters
That’s a you-problem
Eat shit, homosexual. Pic related.
What's with the little deer cutout?
It's Japan. They do shit like this. Literally every restaurant over there has some sort of gimmick to set it apart from every other restaurant.
Kinda surprised it's not from a place closer to (or within) Nara than Hiroshima.
That particular area is known for tame deer
>Kinda surprised it's not from a place closer to (or within) Nara than Hiroshima.
It was on the island of Itsukushima right next to that massive temple ground and “floating shrine”.
It’s pretty much the same as Nara as far as deer go. The main difference is Itsukushima asks you not to feed them, and Nara encourages it.
When you steal someone's photos and try to make up lies at least get the small details correct. That's not a grilled oyster you fricking moron
bad b8 m8
You ate oysters with water in Hiroshima. Brave man
Hiroshima is actually known for its oysters. The grilled ones are a must-try, as is pic. It’s fried curry bread with an oyster in it.
can confirm hiroshima grilled oysters are oishii af
I've never encountered a bad oyster, but sometimes they make my mouth feel itchy.
>what is the appeal of oysters?
They taste nice.
>I'm alergic to sea food so I cannot eat them
K.
>are they good?
They taste nice.
Whoever shucked those mangled them to shit.
Yeah there’s a lot weird with that presentation.

Compared to..?
your mom
They even smell the same.
>You now remember that dumbass that made a dozen Oysters Rockefeller for a study group and no one wanted to eat them because they looked like cow shit in a shell and he got all butthurt and had to eat a dozen oyster by himself
more for him.that shit is good
>that dumbass that made a dozen Oysters Rochefort for a study group
I dunno that guy sounds cool as frick
heheheh i remember
>Oysters Rochefort
Now I am imagining a Sam Hyde talking to a bucket of Oysters.
>and had to eat a dozen oyster by himself
Sounds like a win to me
bro that's how to ensure you dont have to share food with people. i bring seafood to my brother's because only he and i like it so we dont have to split it with anyone else
They are salty and tasty.
Cumming buckets

it tastes like ocean water in a solid form, which sounds nasty, but I like them
1 hour after you eat them you cum uncontrollably for 15 second straight
high iron content
also raw oysters are potentially hazardous to consume so i suppose it attracts the subconsciously suicidal
Those little tabasco bottles are cute
I have never tried oysters but I think the appeal of them must be that they taste good.. I also think the aesthetic of them being in a shell and on ice makes them seem appetizing.
its like a briny chunk of slick muscle. they're really good in an oddly gross sort of way.

You ever wanted to eat a snotball that taste like sea water? Then oysters are for you, that said i fokken luv me oysters
What the FRICK is that presentation?
Oysters are delicious. They taste like the ocean.
the ocean is where thirdies dump their sewage
>I'm alergic to sea food
how can you be allergic to sea food? humans have eaten this stuff for tens of thousands of years

>oh no nonoNO THIS CRAB HAS BEEN ALIVE FOR 4 YEARS I BETTER TOSS IT OUT
How do you have a job?
I’d say that “alive” is about as fresh as something can be.
Some people love them, some hate them.
Fresh with lemon and dry white wine I really enjoy them, we usually have them around Christmas around here (France).
>tfw oysters are $30+ a dozen here
I need to move to the east coast or something, being a seafood lover in flyover land is suffering.
Where in the frick do you live?
I’m nowhere near an ocean, but I don’t pay that.

FYI, I’m pretty sure that deal is limited to 1doz, so you won’t be able to fill an ice chest or anything.
>I'm alergic to sea food so I cannot eat them
No you aren't.
I've had steamed oysters, they were good with a garlic lemon seasoning. It was for my birthday too.
gulmuchim: a Korean "salad" of oysters, vegetables, drenched in a sweet gochujang sauce. fricking delectable.
