Start with Oyster Rockefeller,if don't like them give it up,if u do then when your ready to try raw find the smallest ones and give it a go..

Thanks, one of the guys in my FD has an oyster farm, so I tried them raw couple of times and I just couldn't get to like them. ?

Raw is the way we usually go too
Just tried doing something different for the holiday

some people just don't like the slippery feel as they go down - I understand that - try steaming them - you get 'em a bit of both ways - not raw but not fully cooked either

Fried oysters are very big down here. As a matter of fact most if not all restaurants here don't serve on a half shell but roasted or fried. And oysters are BIG Business here. They have a whole month of oyster festivals up & down the shore in November (harvesting season.)

I prefer on a half shell but also like 'em steamed or fried or roasted. Hell. I like oysters.

got my 7 fishes last night at Maurice (went with the Brit)

Crab Stuffed Local Flounder! Stuffed with Jumbo Lump and served with a Blood Orange/Truffle Emulsion, Tri-Color Carrots, Virginia Ham/Asiago Arancini and topped with a Butter Poached Lobster Claw Crown!
That's 3

Mussels with Pancetta as an appetizer.
(That's 4)

And took home some Sushi
The Seaside Roll! A spicy mixture of Scallops, Tuna and Eastern Shore Blue Crab with Pepitos (baby pumpkin seeds) rolled with Black Tobiko.

That's 7

Put any shell fish in the freezer for a few mins makes them real easy to open

Not oysters. That only works with clams because you’re targeting the muscle. Cold doesn’t “loosen” the hinge

Starting the day off healthy, after that all bets are off.

Of coarse

 

[WhatKnot]

No anchovies on the antipasto; had to go to three stores to find them in a jar; don’t like them in cans. Opened the jar and no ’poof’ no seal Into the garbage they went. Never made it to cooking the Pasta, stuffed after the antipasto.
