Would You Rather Eat Big or Small Oysters?

by partysugar 7

Last weekend I was lucky enough to enjoy oysters, beer, and live music at San Francisco's 11th annual Oysterfest. While slurping a dozen giant raw oysters from Drakes Bay Oyster Farm, I realized I much prefer small oysters to large ones. How about you?

The local oysters here (Powell River, British Columbia) are on the large size and they are the best oysters I have ever had. Plus, I prefer my oysters cooked (my husband once got paralytic shellfish poisoning from our oyster stew--we figure it wasn't cooked all the way through--on Christmas Eve and it was the most horrible thing to have to watch him go through), and the big ones, in my experience, make for better cooking oysters.

I like small oysters cuz the big ones are a little too much oyster in one bite for me

that was a great expression of oyister i have never eaten them and dont think i would liek it but i like smaller crab legs
word on the street has always been that big oysters are big because they come from colder waters- and everyone knows that cold water produces the most flavorful oysters! never been a fan of the scrawny, warm water, gulf oysters in louisiana. i much prefer wellfleet, new brunswick, PEI, long island sound and maine. always to be eaten naked, with an ice cold hefeweizen! they should taste like the water they come from; like a grey, cool november afternoon on the rugged atlantic coast smells.
