      For real, that big salty lugee is great! Did you know they’re actually alive when you eat them? They also don’t have pain receptors IIRC so they’re a very ethical source of protein. - actual oyster enjoyer

        ethical

        You eat them alive

        🤔

        Lol I’m not a fan of seafood but I’ve always found it unnerving that they have eyes

        I like them on occasion, but I prefer them smoked, I think it does wonders to the natural flavors.

        I’d much rather have mussels though (not raw, boiled). Mussels in a oil pasta is fantastic.

          Smoked is very good too.

          Mussels are different. Both are good, but yeah mussels are better as part of a dish, especially with a lot of butter.

      I am not a big fan of raw oysters, but if you bake them in the oven with breadcrumbs, cheese and a sauce, they are delicious

        I mean… The bread, cheese and sauce is doing a lot of heavy lifting here… Using those 3 you can almost throw anything else in there and it’ll be decent.

          Essentially “it can be palatable if hidden in pizza”.
