Excellent, small Willapa Bay oysters, about 40 to a jar for $13. Our local markets have local oysters in the shell this time of of year for $7/dozen. The price has been rising steadily.

Got used to happy hours with half shell oyster free or ten cents. When I saw the prices out here on the west coast, I just couldn't stomach them, lol.

They look yummy!

before bed tonight, Peggy, but as the little Sparrow said, I regret nothing!

I'm having Oysters Rockefeller on Tuesday. I can hardly wait!

My folks ate them fried, in stew, and put them I half of the turkey dressing at Thanksgiving. I just could never take a shooter. Do you chew? Or just swallow. Gag.

and the texture kills me every time

Looking at it through the glass. And do you chomp on it on the way down or does it just slide down your throat.


Yikes. I'm a chicken. I can eat them breaded and fried, so I don't have to see 'em but that's it. Well, I've eaten oyster stew, too. Love those little crackers. Those make the dish.

however there is one place in town that does them good, love oysters.

Is commendable. I salute you!

There is a restaurant in New Orleans that opens them then puts butter, garlic and parsley over them while still on the half shell, and puts them on a BBQ.

To me, that is oyster heaven.

I will have to read up on it. yummm

It's just off the interstate on the way in from Metairie.

Worth the stop. Take a seat at the bar and watch them make them and serve them.

Yummy, yummy, yummy.
