Serious Oyster Discussion

[Fish]

Score points? Do you have a honey doo list on the refrigerator?

My little squaw will hand my the big rowdy ones she can't open. But there's a 50% opening fee associated with that.

Natural light, clusters, no glove- )they are for women, children, and frat boys), go in her back door... I'll use a butter knife and drink my cheap beer if I have to, but I prefer the blue handle knife.

May River Oysters, washed. We do have singles here, and they are phenomenal. Salty as hell and worth it when you can get em. Tide has to be right.
Salt Water Soaked Burlap
Steel
Firepit
Blue Handle Knife
Work Glove
Bud Light

Don't need any other stuff.

I eat oysters like Rosie ODonell on a Moon Pie.

I will elbow the shit out of you if you get in my personal space at an oyster table. get your own hot oysters, don't come yanking mine.

And you are a piece of shit if you throw saltine wrappers or other trash in the same bucket with oyster shells.

towel, almost to barely cracked, dredge about every 3rd or 4th through some cocktail that has about 2-3 teardrops of Dave's in it...start with light beer, draft is great...when I near the end I like to wrap em up with a beam n coke or 2

[paynej]

They make some with a thin "sharpe" edge that can easily be slid in between the shell

you're doing it wrong

Clusters, good knife, rag (surgical towels), no saltine, I like them just before they pop open. If eating raw I like a small splash of Tobasco. If steamed a tad of cocktail if any.

for some reason i took you for a Texas Pete guy


For me - about to open or barely open. I can eat them with anything (cocktail, hot sauce, crackers) but my preference is hot and nekkid.

edit: light american beer is required. draft, bottle, or can will do

[Highstrung]

Eating shellfish is like shooting doves, it's a race. That's it. I'm not fond of everything I eat tasting like hot sauce, nor do I like them to taste like a dirt road booger. I would place money on one of you knowing what a dusty road booger tastes like.

[smitch320]

I can't do Tabasco any more in general. If I use hot sauce it's Pete.

[PalmettoTrooper]

Clusters from Bluffton oyster factory and a simple view is the way to go

[fuzzy]

Local clusters cooked to just before opening. I want them full of juice. A rag or glove or not, don't really matter. Oyster knife, pocket knife (until a few beverages have been consumed), butter knife, or flathead screwdriver (the short stubby ones) will do.

This is the oyster knife I use most. Don't have to worry about stitches, and it does a fine job.

You'd be the first human to ever go through the shell hole.

[CYPRESNEAK]

Self picked N. Edisto selects. White handle Dexter Russell, no guard (think prison shank).
Steamed to the point about half have just opened, and the others haven't.
Terry cloth rag, and Bud heavy. No sauce.

[Hogg]

Steaming a good oyster is like putting ketchup on a Wagyu steak.

[Goin Coastal]

Best "production" knife is the Dexter/Russell with the slightly curved tip. All about leverage. No need for sharp.

McClellanville clusters just barely starting to open. No saltines or sauce. Natties or draft will work.

[CYPRESNEAK]

Best "production" knife is the Dexter/Russell with the slightly curved tip.

That's the one...

[Relentlous]

Clusters. Blue knife. No gloves. Sometimes I'll do a cracker and cocktail

[LowcountryBuck]

try me. Oysters is serious business.

[Fish]

So is that little hole in the middle of the table.

[riverrat8991]

Sounds like we need a scducks oyster roast and watch some of you go at it

[MolliesMaster]

And you are a piece of shit if you throw saltine wrappers or other trash in the same bucket with oyster shells.

Thank you! Finally somebody else who gets it.




We have a recycling drop off point for dnr behind our office. It clearly says oyster recycling on it and if you walk back there after a weekend you would think we are collecting beer bottles and plastic cups of half used dipping sauce.

You wanna talk about feeling the need to throat punch people...

[CofC Waterfowler]

The hell with a a cluster. Selects only.
