Oyster Bars...raw oysters served!

[Gumbo Man]

Completely agree with this.

Have had gulf and east coast oysters, and no comparison in flavor and size. Gulf all the way.

Sucks to hear this news. Seems like I heard something bad was coming for next season a few weeks ago also.

This isn’t gonna improve untill Louisiana resources are healthy and season can reopen at full capacity and keep the boats working in LA. What happened is when LA was shut down last year all the boats came to Texas and completely wiped out the oysters within days. Private reefs are still producing with very high demand yielding high prices and small oysters to meet the demand.

I can’t believe coon-arses would do such a thing………

It’s almost like it’s a stereotype.

Ah, so this is why TPWD shutdown several harvest areas early this year.

Pimps don't have to ask price.

Do they have any idea when the La beds will recover so they can reopen? I can't seem to find anything online.

Bingo. Completely depleted resources.

The best I have ever had were from Prince Edward Island and absolutely incredible

That’s the Better Half’s favorite! I enjoy the NorthWest and NorthEast more these days. Don’t touch the gulf stuff.

The problem with gulf oysters is marketing. You need to come up with a good, identifiable brand for your product Lee. Something other than "gulf oysters". You see how they do it elsewhere in the US. Do that. Pick a local place name and turn that into your oyster brand. Build the image and market it. The perfect tides, perfect salinity, long growing season all come together to produce a superior oyster, etc, etc.

Hurry up and get it going. I need some new structure over there to fish.

Alpha Slip Oysters!

I laughed way too hard at "trace amounts of methamphetamines".

Ive had at least a dozen different “exotic” oysters and almost all were amazing. I think a part of our oysters being considered of an inferior taste raw on the half shell is due to their size. You dont get a hint of oyster. You get a thing the size of your tongue sliding into your mouth.

I dont chew cold water oysters. They are dressed or not and slid into the mouth to almost dissolve or come apart in the mouth. Gulf oysters have to be almost chewed. For cooking applications the gulf is king though. I want to chomp apart a po boy or grilled ones.
