    Everything that once cheap or discarded like oysters, salmon, and lobster now turned luxurious and expensive. And something that in the old times were expensive like chicken now became cheap and very accessible.

    Oyster farming really has very few critics and those who do usually aren’t aware of how it’s done. Not only are the practices and presence of the oysters good for the waters, the required habitat has oyster farmers actively protecting these areas from pollution and development.

      @knpark2025 Год назад

      Indeed. Oyster farming doesn't pollute the ocean. More precisely, it can't, categorically. Oysters are filter feeders, and polluting the ocean they grow on is to taint the very product that feeds on the water. So much so that some cities with a huge oyster industry will spam public bathrooms all over the place to stop passersby from "doing their business" in the sea.

  • @cupcakemuffin3699
    @cupcakemuffin3699 2 года назад +4

    I LOVE to eat oysters especially with hot sauce. I don't like opening the shells because I accidentally hurt myself or sometimes its too hard for me because they're shut tight. I have to get them preopened or canned. In my city we have oyster fests once a year. The local community come together in one spot to eat.
    It has shocked me when I met some people who's never tried oysters before and even said they tasted awful. And also I think it depends on where you go to get them. My mom really loves seafood so she knows all the places to get them cheap!

  • @TheColonialTeaCup

    Where I live on the east coast of the US oysters are still pretty darn cheap (probably due to our county being a large producer of farmed oysters), the volunteer fire departments on occasion has an all you can eat oyster roast (they are steamed not roasted despite the name).

    It's just perfect as raw. Also deep fry, soup,BBQ grilled etc.
    Cold water temperature during winter season & west region of korea mudflat offer great organic matter. Plus, If summer season had long period of heavy rain for extra organic matter...

    I ate half a dozen Loch Fyne oysters last weekend. 2 straight-up, 1 with a wasabi+cucumber+mirin seasoning, 1 with red wine vinegar+ shallots, and 2 with Tabasco mixed with a tiny bit of agave nectar of all things.
    They were all fantastic. But I have to say that the tobasco one was my favourite. It had everything- the lovely saltiness and amazing flavour of the oyster, paired with heat and sourness from the tobasco, and a very subtle sweetness from the added agave nectar.
    Loch Fyne and other Atlantic oysters (and ones from the North Sea, and i suppose it's technically the Hebridean sea with the Loch Fyne oysters) taste different from one's I've had in the US, even on the east coast. They taste sweeter in the US, and a LOT sweeter on the West Coast.
    One is not better than the other, they're just different, and all so good in their own ways.
