Unlike any other seafood, oysters taste like the sea. Everything about them—their size, shape, flavour and food value—is impacted by the minerals, salinity, nutrients and temperature of the water where they live making them some of the best in the world. Eat them raw, deep fry them for a po’boy or bake them, Rockefeller.
