All this talk about oysters made me crave some right now. Too busy on a project at the moment, so I had to go with the smoked ones. Though not fresh on the half shell, they filled the bill for right now. :D I'll be headed to King's Fish House later today to fill that need to feed .. they have a half page dedicated to their varieties of fresh oysters on the half shell. Mmm-mmm good!

You have to try the NW Pacific. They are not dinky like those little "sand-n-mud" cousins from the east...you know, that taste like sand -n-mud from the east!

I've eaten at King's, Long Beach...good food!

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

I've had the NW Pacific oysters! I've been to Seattle a number of times. I've also had the Apalachicola oysters, too, from my Florida days. Definite different flavors. Hey, I'm going to the Long Beach King's Fish House tonight! Small world! Though, I prefer the Huntington Beach or even the Carlsbad locations more. I'll 'slurp' a couple of oysters for you! :cool:

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

Well, now I need those other ones Fed-Ex'd after all! LOL

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

They're slippery little devils! ROFLOL!

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

Haven't touched them, but I'm 99.9% sure they'd be powder coated.

Oysters + shot glass + vodka + cocktail sauce

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

Slurp...uh...don't you mean chew?

Say it aint so. You don't swallow them whole?

:D

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

Heaven in a glass my brother! Heaven in a glass!

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

Ken,

Oh, and that avatar of yours! Every time I catch a glimpse of it I get this hankering for one of those big round lollipops...you know, that you lick all day!

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

I swallow mine whole. Sometimes, anyway. Other times I like em on a cracker with hot sauce.

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

Chew them they taste awesome, you'll never ever swallow an oyster whole again! At least the NWP's taste awesome, I mean really fresh! Just a little squeeze of lemon and a dash of spicy coctail sauce! The only thing making em better is a slow shot of vodka wrapped around them!

What the heck, don't make me send you and the old man a couple of round trip airline tickets to Seattle!

:D

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

Oh no, we wouldn't want that. <insert sarcasm> LOL:beerchug:

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

:shhh: All of a sudden I feel uncomfortable. :giggling:

Re: Chit Chat Thread
 

Well, it's not always the same. If they are REALLY big ones, I do a quick bite, then swallow. If they are small to medium, I chew about 4 chews, then swallow. Sometimes those big ones are mindboggling to me. I start thinking about that big, slippery glob and I just automatically swallow. The lemon and hot sauce is perfect on them. I had only a dozen tonight, but they were chilled JUST right .. very fresh. Used a Meyer lemon and a dot of extra hot sauce with extra horseradish. Heaven. ;)

What, you never had one of those lollipops? From the amusement park? They were good, you know, when you were a kid!
