There is this bar on LBI, NJ that has a happy hour. During this time oysters are a buck apiece. Me and thirty-six dollars soon part company. I will share one or two with you. However, if you are going to put any kind of sauce to cover them up....you buy your own.
I always take my youngest granddaughter, she is 11. She likes them. The other grandchildren not so much.

The one that defies understanding is casu marzu, a sheep’s milk cheese considered a delicacy in (on?) Sardinia which contains live maggots.

An acquired taste and texture... as are other things we eagerly put in our mouths. For those of you who don't care for them- leaves more for the rest of us who do. Bet you have all drunk from the teat of a bovine, sheep or goat, and relished in eating the cheese made from that milk with the same bacteria that make feet smell. How about the entrails of swine stuffed with meat spices and herbs?
I do draw the line at scrapple... LOL
To each his own. Sluuuurrp!

Unlike lobsters, which were considered "cockroaches of the sea" and fed to prisioners and those who could not afford to buy even chicken, oysters have been always popular. Although these days you can find the groups of those who hate them, those who love them, those who will never try them and those like me who will cook them first.

Chincoteague oysters are the best!
I love them raw, breaded and fried, oyster stew, and oyster fritters.
Had the fritters for breakfast at a diner when fishing on Md. Eastern Shore.

Steamed with hot sauce or Fried with egg & cornmeal and Horse Radish sauce....yum !
The Rockafellar style is too time consuming although prettier to gaze at before I destroy them.

Understanding that oysters draw in and filter nutrients + other stuff from the water, the question arises to the water quality. Back in atomic bomb testing years some waters received radioactive fission products so oysters and other sea-life could get contaminated. Those radioactive years are over only to be replaced by agricultural and industrial runoff. To what extent is RoundUp contaminated oyster meat harmful to humans. The active ingredient in RoundUp is designed to disrupt an insect digestive system. The digestive system chemistry amongst animals of all kinds is not all that different. Are there any water controlled oyster farms?
