Oysters

YoungParisian_inExile

Savages ... 😁

Fuckin' love them. Eat with finely shredded horseradish & Chablis
If you've never had them then I'd be careful about where you break yer duck.
happier with the smaller varieties, Prince Edward Island oysters are great.
Will always go for them if i'm in a place or restaurant known for fresh oysters. Ditto for sushi ...

Reggie_Perrin You just reminded me - I had a steak and oyster pie in NZ - they love their pies.

It was pretty horrific tbf.

Lovely steak pie, yum yum then arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh - what the eff - salty fishy disgustingness.

Seafood/fish = the devil's own shite, as far as I'm concerned. You can have mine...

Deary me... you're missing out on a whole feast of stuff you've never tried before.

Placid I do try stuff, from time to time but always end up wanting to vomit.
Sometimes just the smell makes me want to heave.

Best eaten straight from the sea. Had some in Korculla that we dived for off the bottom, they tasted salty. Superb.

Fish fish I love, sea-food I'm a bit reluctant with. A few years ago we had a works trip to Portugal, good restaurant next to the sea. Had a load of different shellfish that had been caught a couple of hours previous, lovely tackle and tasted of the sea. Not really bothered since then, I should.

Sat here tucking into some oily tinned mackerel.

Harvest Boom and tish.

I think I've mentioned elsewhere that I now use anchovies to season spag bols and all kinds of stuff.

When we were in Mexico a couple of years ago I ordered clams. They arrived, I dived straight into them, stcuk one in the old gob and then glanced at the dish. The fuckers were still moving. I still have nightmares about it.
