I do not eat the large economy size buggers either.

I thought it would be a warning about winding up with an unexpected little bundle of joy.

I absolutely LOVE raw oysters. Ate three dozen at one sitting back in the day. (There may have been some tequila involved) Dipped into cocktail sauce with enough horseradish to make it almost white. Rockefeller style is extremely tasty. Raw oyster in a high ball glass with vodka and cocktail sauce is a special treat. I can't divulge the name of that cocktail without fear of being permanently banned though.

I think I ate 48 once but like you said a little, spelled (lot), of Tequila might have been involved.

My wife and I are from Va., the Chesapeake Bay Area and love most seafood. I'm hoping fried oyster are still safe to eat. I eat them raw but, like fried the most. We gorge ourselves on seafood when we go home.

There used to be a fast food seafood place called Arthur Treachers. I got some fried oysters there once. I don't know if that really qualifies as trying oysters since it was just a fast food joint, but I was a poor high school kid working part time, so wasting food was just not do-able. All the same, I couldn't eat them. Nastiest thing I ever tried to eat, you could not get me to try an oyster in any form to this day.

Fried oysters is AWESOME!
I had some last week.
Cant do raw, to much Hep A and other nasty stuff.

I'm safe.

When I was in the navy dating my soon to be wife in Baltimore, her mother would often buy a bushel of oysters to be shucked and a few dozen blue crabs. The family firmly believed that whiskey with raw oysters would turn to stone in your stomach causing serious gastric issues. I proved that myth to be false. I've eaten them raw around the world but believe the very best were from Apalachicola bay on Fla's gulf coast and Chincoteagues from the lower Chesapeake.
