Thank you

I'm bringing some paper plates and plastic knives forks and spoons. I don't have any oyster shuckers for the people that are going raw. I'll also bring a table or two.

Two dozen for me please!

I'll take 3 dozen

Thanks for organizing. I would like a dozen if they are safe for eating raw this time of year.

Thanks! Scott

I'm pretty new to oysters. It looks like we are safe. This is what I found.



Many myths and misconceptions have sprung up concerning seafood. As is the way with myths, they are handed from generation to generation, reinforced with each telling, until they become an almost inherent part of the culture in which they grew. Nor are these myths fare for the unlearned: educated people are likely to believe them as well. Here are a few of the myths and misconceptions concerning seafood that have come down through the year:
Myth - Oysters and other shellfish should be eaten only in months with an “r” in them.
So far as the United States is concerned, this is not true. Under commercial raising and harvesting conditions, oysters and other shellfish are safe and good to eat any month of the year. Certain European oyster which brood their young in months without an “r” are less palatable at that time of year, but this rule doesn’t apply to U.S. oysters, which don’t brood their young. As a contradiction to the myth about “r” months, shellfish containing a paralytic shellfish poison are occasionally found along the Pacific Coast in “r” months. When this occurs, people are warned against gathering and eating these particular shellfish. The California Department of Health places a quarantine on the harvesting of mussels between May1 and October 31; and along the Oregon Coast, people are warned by the news media against gathering and eating the mussels that cling to rocks that rim the beaches. The cardinal rule is that any commercially available shellfish is non-toxic and safe to eat. While Vibrio vulnificus bacteria are more prevalent in warmer months, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a full 40% of cases occur from September through April, again dispelling the idea not to eat oysters in the months without “r”s in them. There is some good news regarding all this myth stuff, Following these simple guidelines will ensure your safety.

Myth - Cooking oysters thoroughly destroys Vibrio vulnificus.
The FDA recommends that if you boil oysters, cook them until the shells open and then continue to cook for five minutes more. If you steam them, wait until shells open and continue cooking for nine more minutes. Shucked oysters must be boiled at least three full minutes or fry them in oil at least ten minutes at 375 degrees F. Of course we all know not to eat any shellfish that has come from beaches that has been closed do to PSP or other toxin. This information for our state is on the Department of Health website at WWW.doh.com or call the PSP hotline in your phone book with your area listing.

Myth - Oysters are an aphrodisiac
The idea of eating oysters for their aphrodisiac qualities, which has been around for a long time, is basically untrue. Oysters do contain considerable amounts of nature’s building block, cholesterol, as well as being extremely rich in protein, but it is doubtful that this was common knowledge when the aphrodisiac myths was perpetrated.

Myth - Shellfish that die before being cooked should not then be cooked and eaten.
People have been warned not to eat clams, mussels, crabs, lobsters, and other shellfish unless they are alive when cooked. From the standpoint of flavor, this is a good suggestion, but shellfish don’t become toxic when they die. When shellfish die, their digestive glands break down, releasing digestive enzymes that begin digesting the flesh of the animal.

Myth - Cooking the shellfish alive prevents this process from beginning.
The reason you should only clean and cook live or frozen shellfish is that those that die before being cooked or frozen will have a decomposed flavor and odor.

Myth - Seafood is brainfood.
The myth of fish as a brain food goes back to a 19th century Harvard University scientist who discovered that phosphorus is abundant in the human brain, and from this fact, wrongly concluded that a diet of fish should increase the human IQ.

Myth - Eating seafood with fresh milk will make you sick.
This is totally untrue, both from observation and the application of logic; the combination of two wholesome foods cannot possibly make one sick.

I have a life long friend who was born in Chile, and near Santiago where he was from, the seashore and climate are very much like the area north of SF in California. When we were students in San Jose, CA in the 70's, we used to go over to Davenport Landing and at low tide harvest mussels from the rocks on the south reef at low tide. A bottle of wine and a bottle of Tabasco, and we were good for lunch in our wet suits on the reef. Good stuff.

The oysters are totally fine to eat raw.**  The aqua farms are monitored very regularly.

**Unless you have an allergy to shellfish.  If you are allergic to shellfish don't eat oysters.

Myth - Eating seafood with fresh milk will make you sick.
This is totally untrue, both from observation and the application of logic; the combination of two wholesome foods cannot possibly make one sick.

If you are going to argue from logic, you should probably know what the composition fallacy is and give an effort to not make it in your argument.  What is the source of this nonsense?

Not sure what you mean. Are you saying it is true that eating them with milk will make you sick?

Not at all. I hope not, I use cream in my oyster sausage I'm bringing to the potluck.

I'm saying that invoking "logic" then making a glaring logical fallacy in an argument in the very same sentence is like fingernails on the chalkboard to my eyes and an affront to basic human decency.

They are saying it is a myth and is untrue, so I'm still not sure.

64 dozen is a lot of oysters even for little guys like Kumamotos.  Someone got room for that much and all their gear for GS? 

Also, for those grilling their oysters, the kumamotos are pretty small.  Factor in shrinkage from cooking and you could end up with a tiny oyster.

I'll take 2 dozen please.
