Oh, God, No.
Look, I LOVE oysters. I really do.
The more horseradish sauce the better.
I happily ate probably no fewer than 20 last weekend in New Orleans and it is a given that I look forward to eating them up each and every time I step foot in Halibut Point. Key West to me screams “Raw Bar” and Nantucket means oysters at “CRU”.
So, last night was no different.
I happily met one of my best friends in the whole entire world….ordered from one of the best bartenders in the whole entire world (that’s right, Jack), and chatted with the one and only Heather…who has made it into 2 blog posts in a row….not that that is any claim to fame 😉
We ordered a dozen Duxbury Oysters and THANK GOODNESS this one didn’t make it to our plate.
So, my friends, after seeing this photo, the question I ask is, “Would you or wouldn’t you be able to choke this down?” For the record, as you can see, it is the size of the a woman’s hand.

Good Morning Gloucester 
I’d have to choke it down because I surely would not attempt to chew it!!:-(

Nope ~ I would not suck it ~ I’d fry it in a Chesapeake Bay minute!

I read somewhere a few years ago about a doctor’s convention held in New Orleans where Gulf of Mexico (warm-water), oysters were served. Several of the doctors died from eating them… apparently, when oysters are cultivated in warm waters, they can develop deadly bacteria! I stick to cold-water oysters!

As noted in my vote I find the big ones not as good. And the cold water oysters are definitely better than the warm water ones. Though back in the day when I had to go work in the FL panhandle the 10 cent oyster happy hour was irresistible!
