    I've had oysters on the half shell a few times. I actually like them. But, not without a good sauce and lemon juice. The trick is not to chew them, but to swallow them down.

        What is it about the oyster that you find -- disgusting? The taste? The feel? The visual connotation ("looks like a bugger to me!")?

          I think George Carlin put it best:

          And oysters. I cannot eat oysters -- or clams -- not for the reason you mention, which is "Uuuuuuh!" but because when I look at an oyster, I think, "Hey! Somebody lives in there! That's somebody’s little house! I'm not going to break in on somebody just to eat them. Come on! We've got laws against that. That's breaking and eating, I believe." Don't get me wrong. If an oyster slips and falls out of his shell, I'll eat that *!@#% in a minute! I got no mercy on a clumsy mollusk. But I'm not going in after somebody. Hey, he might be making a pearl. He might have just brought home a Heathkit and cleaned off the tabletop. Not my job to mess with an [echo effect] oyster's... oyster's... oyster's....

            I LOVE oysters on the half-shell.. you hear that woodactinglikeasqueamishbabysmoke?

            Ummmm, yummy. And yes - I chew them too. They actually have different flavors depending on the type and the water they grew up in.

            Currently, our local fresh fish house has 8 varieties. I love the small but full-of-flavor North Puget Sound oysters. They have a nice buttery and almond flavor. Unfortunately there is a bacteria issue for the time being in that part of the world. So I'm sticking to the Atlantic types for now.

            And Snowhog - my local place serves them with a touch of shredded raw horseradish (rather than prepared) and a little cocktail sauce on the side. Clears the sinuses and the palate at the same time! I prefer mine with a spicy Bloody Mary to wash them down.

            -- OK, great! Now I'm hungry...
