Have you ever shucked an oyster you licked?

It's been ages since I've shucked an oyster. Wasn't really great at it, from what I can remember. I order them on the half shell 99% of the time I have them raw, anyway.

My druthers would rather have 'em battered and fried, though. Yassssss...

I like em raw, on the half-shell, with some drops of hot sauce.

Getting a definite jones for some right now thinking about it...along with the appropriate booze...

Here's one thing I miss about living in the North West of Oz....
Walking out to the natural oyster beds at low tide, with an esky full of beer, an armful of spinifex*, a lighter and a fork. Lay the spinifex* over the oyster bed, light it up and wait for the heat to crack open the oysters. (Have a beer while waiting.)
Then, just fork out the beautiful, plump, raw flesh, and follow with beer chasers until full

*spinifex - a kind of grass that is full of natural turpentine and burns hot and fast, grows wild all over the NW of Oz.

Note: I do not miss the 48 deg C temperatures, the exhorbitant cost of food and fuel, or the flies and midges.

Cold lager.

With lemon and a cold beer. Few things are more refreshing on a hot summer day.

You know me...
I always choose other.

I am so grateful for chainmail shucking gloves.

Oysters are the language of sex.

Scallops, with their little blue eyes!
Cherrystones!
Razor clams!
Steam muhs!

I loves 'em, but have never done the shicking myself.

Pass the Tabasco.
