I have a craving for some good oysters. I know the old rule is dont eat oysters in months that dont contain an "R". The two reasons that I can find for this are...1 in the"old" days refrigeration was unreliable and made for suspect shellfish...2 oysters spawn in the summer and the texture of the meat is lacking. I understand now though, that many of the oysters on the market now are from oyster farms. These farms raise sterile oysters that dont spawn,resulting in good texture year round.
Has anybody scored any oysters lately that have been of good quality? I will call our area fish mongers and see what they have, just wanted to know if anybody had any info.
