At first that sounded gross (I, I guess like the danish, prefer them raw with a little lemon), but now I kind of want to try it. I think I'm going to try to find a place in NYC that serves oysters this way.

They are just bland when row. They don't have this amazing sea taste that you would find in a "plateau de fruits de mer".
- zhte415 9y agoThere are a great variety of oysters in any sea. Warmer climate facilitate faster growing, colder slower. If you're eating bland ones are you in warm seas or eating from such? That bland taste happens when anything grows faster. Go up north, same in Western hemisphere.
- mtkd 9y agothere are quite a few things you can do with oysters, the British used to use them to pad meat pies out: http://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/beef-stout-oyster-pie-recipe http://www.greatbritishchefs.com/recipes/beef-stout-oyster-p... you can even brew with them: http://www.merseabrewery.co.uk/beers/oyster-stout http://www.merseabrewery.co.uk/beers/oyster-stout (apparently the shells used to be used to clear the beer, which evolved to brewers starting adding them whole)
