I forgot that I had four of these little beauties left and they've been in the fridge the whole time so I'm sure I can risk it. They're probably amongst the last of the season - what do you think? I like them raw with Worcestershire sauce.

I wouldn't eat them, have seen 2 people very ill by leaving them in juice and going back to them later, not nice.

I've got an exceptionally hardy constitution, so I think I'll take the plunge. Wish me well!

I managed to get hold of some a couple of weeks ago and - get this - I had to batter and fry them in order to induce hubby to sample. :(
Guess it's a case of 'baby steps' and we'll get there in the end.
Glad you're still alive and kickin' wasala. Try a dab of wasabi if you get caught out like that again. apparently the reason it came to be associated with raw seafood has more to do with its natural ability to fight off food poisoning than the taste. But, of course that's the real stuff. not sure if the same applies to what we get here which is usually based predominantly on horseradish.
If it's the end of Bluff season I want, nay, demand NZ scallops. ! When does the season start for them? Soon I hope.

One has to wonder why you would bother. Just setting yourself up for a lifetime battle over who gets most of the oysters

Number 1 had to bother so that number 2 would eat them. ;-)

Still on the oyster subject anyone have any ideas about why my first few puffed up (batter) and looked lovely but the next few . not so much? So - not the batters fault (since fine for the first few) - maybe temp dropped and I didn't wait long enough for it to come back to full heat?

Exactly.

So that it's worthwhile purchasing 12 oysters. More than just 1 can eat in one sitting in this household. Wouldn't want to waste them, just have to get number 2 to enjoy them and desire more in the future. Seems to be going well so far. :)

Welcome to my thread illusion_. Just out of interest, how do oysters rate in the perfect diet?

LOL voxkoal, I may have forgotten to mention that we also had John Dory to go with the oysters. Very yum and we'll be having a second go round this weekend since I'm pretty sure I have some more Bluff Oysters arriving. :)
