Anyone else have oysters turn everything into green pea soup the next day? :confused: I did a few of them on the grill last night and I'm suspecting those may have disrupted the normal production...

They are out of season. You are only suppose to eat them in months that have an R in them.

I thought you weren't supposed to eat them if they DO have an R in the month. Then why the hell do they sell them in JUNE? :(

Ok, after doing a little Googling, I couldn't find anything about not eating them during some months. With todays availability of being able to transport fresh food from around the world, the old wives tale doesn't hold true. Oysters can be flown in from any area that oysters are in season. There is however a story from late July of last year that RAW oysters from the pacific northwest were making people sick, and before that was the Texas region in 1998.

My dad is an oyster and clam farmer in the pacific northwest and i was up there working with him when the oysters got shut down last summer. It happens when the the temperatures get warm and bacteria in the mud gets in the oysters. it doesn't harm the oysters but causes you to get sick. but if you cooked them good you shouldn't of got sick. also during the summer months they spawn and when you open them they are all milky inside.

The old adage of eating oysters only in months with an "R" was before the days of adequate refrigeration, but they do taste better in the colder months. Also they are potentially more dangerous in the warmer months if eaten raw, so we don't carry them during the summer months.

I sill won't eat them in those months.

Oysters from the Gulf are dangerous to eat raw during warm months. Sliders from colder water are OK.

the best way to cook oysters are on the BBQ. put a little BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese on them and they are awesome! all my friends who say they don't like oysters try them and love them.
