As long as they ain`t "coon oysters" you`ll be fine.

I would eat up that whole baker's dozen of no-R oysters in about ten seconds. :)

What's a coon oyster? Apologies, I live 300 miles from saltwater. Are you talking about those lil narrow-shelled oysters that grow in big clumps up and down all the tidal creeks and on all the riprap and bridge pilings and are out of the water at low tide?

Coon oysters are those that are exposed above water at low tide. You don`t want to eat those, especially in the summer months. Back in the renegade days, I`d only go at low tide during the summer, and gather those still under water. An old Cracker taught me that trick. Along with a few others. ;)

Thanks, that's what I figured, just wasn't sure. :cheers:

More than once I`d put my boat in the Intracoastal waterway with a rake, sody crackers, bottle of hot sauce, beer, and go "fishing".

Those really were the good ol` days.

Never did that, always wanted to. I was probably spotlighting rabbits in that era :rofl:

Oyster farmers in Scotland have perfected a way to treat non-R months with UV light for 48 hours to make them safe to eat.
