An ode to oysters

In case you didn't know, we are in something of an oyster renaissance, with sales climbing and an increase in varieties available. And as more and more Americans experience the rush of slurping shellfish, oystermen (and women) can't keep up with demand. Faith Salie visits oyster farms where she learns some surprising facts about these hearty bivalves, and samples her very first oyster.

6:06 “So I take all the liquid and everything?”
So. Many. Jokes.

[@TexasRain104]

My mouth waters for my next dozen.... Thank you for the show.

My question is how do you know one $2 oyster from another that costs $3? I used to eating local oysters I harvest myself.

[@11thstalley96]

IMHO The best accompaniment to oysters is a nice, dry Irish stout. As good as Guinness works, there are some absolutely fantastic craft stouts, like those brewed by Kernel in London, Bell’s in Kalamazoo, or AleSmith in San Diego.

Be safe. Fix oyster stew. Perfect wintertime treat.

Also, Skip seems reallllly into Faith.

[@pete7389]

Tastes like the ocean, feels like snot. I love em.

[@klayofthemystics]

Love oysters...never noticed any rush for eating something alive. I believe most people like the way they taste, if anyone needs to feel a rush over a eating something that cant get away, cant fight back.... perhaps feel a tad inferior around every other life form A complex perhaps?

[@datphan7901]

2021. i dont even know if i have enough cash to buy any oyster at all

[@sniferlip]

Uh yeah, no. Only if I were alone on an island and starving

[@shttc900]

I'd watch a show about oyster farmers. Skip would be a nice host.

[@louisedwards6681]

[@redpenink12]

[@2001pontiacta]

At 1:04,did that black guy spit on that oyster?!?!?

[@sandramercado5806]

Ive always hated the slurping sound 😝😝😝😝 don't eat oyster of course

[@dreboerte5864]

She just swallowed them.

[@HankC9174]

not all oysters are aphrodisiacs - i had a dozen last night only 6 worked .

“Don’t call us, we’ll call you.”

[@Farzee49]

So lame that she never had an oyster.

[@bluetextonwhitebg]

[@Livetoeat171]

I heard eating oysters raw, invites infection and parasites
