A few of us meet up at the Topwater Grill in San Leon for lunch on Monday's for 1/2 price dozen raw oyster's on the half shell, only 1/2 price on Monday's. Along with that I'll usually get a 1/2 dozen garlic grilled also, got to get'em while the gettin is good.

Ahhhhh Man, how I wish that I could still enjoy them like I used to but, I'm afraid, those daze are long gone. I was a absolute menace to the oyster population

They look real good, have you tried them raw dipped in malt vinegar and lots pepper? Any way you have them is good with me.

back when I could STILL eat them, I liked to wallow one around in a horseradish red sauce and then
one oyster = one swallow after chewing a tad

Color me JEALOUS

Never tried them that way before, seems you would loose a lot of the flavor from the oyster that way.

I like to just dab it in a little red sauce, pepper sauce, lay it on a cracker and chew it up. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

Outstanding! It's extremely hard to believe that, way back when, you almost couldn't give these things away. Think a bag of them was just a few pennies.. Now it seems you need a bank loan for a plateful..

Ain't that the truth, about $16 a dozen raw on the half shell , that's why I like 1/2 price Monday's.

Only way I've had Oysters was on a PoBoy sammich... They were awesome, but I'll leave 1/2 shell idea for you pros, lol I just can't do it.

We had a guy with us that doesn't even like to look at raw oyster's but he will eat his weight in fried.

PoconoPal, what you need to do is come down here during mudbug season and we'll hook up with WillieP - - - then I can show you how to consume Mudbugs and He can initiate you on the Oysters (gotta drink the juice that's left in the shell, eh Willie?)
