Oh man...I NEED some of those!

I had some from the may river tonight they were wonderfull one of the local watering holes has free oysters on Saturday nights

you are right.

I am a bit jealous....mmmmm looks good!!!!!

Them are about the ideal size, very good spare!:clap:
Had some cluster/coon oysters Friday night, a real pain compared to those you got. Still good none the less.

That does it!!...hitch up the boats!!...makes me wanna have another Get Together!!...Spare those DO look good...that steamer of yours does the trick!!...some of the BEST oysters I ever had...:clap:

these were clusters, but they opened up easy, the tag said they came from Kiawah(harvested that morning), they were good, but not as good as those Blufton clusters.

I had forgotten those came from Bluffton...those REELY were good...:love:

spare, great minds think alike. this is whats left of a bag of appalachicola's finest i picked up thurs night.

we had em fried , baked, & raw that night and nibbled on them fri for lunch and sat during the ball games.

I picked up a bushel last night from a friend who gets them out of Bulls Bay. They were in the water an hour before! It's that time of year!:clap:

god I hate you guys

More like spare said to begin with...just jealous...:beer:

thats what a call a good feed and makes owning a boat wort it

Ok, so I almost hate to say it but to me...NC/SC oysters are so much better than gulf coast oysters. It may be cause I've never had gulf oysters fresh, but they just dont have the same salty flavor.

What do yall think?:beer:

I've never had NC/SC oyesters, but keep in mind there are SEVERAL different kinds of gulf coast oyesters out there. The FL panhandle ones from apalachicola and the surrroundiung area are pretty good, and plenty salty at the the right time of year(ther best in the winter time). Louisiana has a whole nother kind of oyesters ther, and from what I hear they are huge and have a more muddy type tast to them without the saltiness from all of teh brackish marh they have over there. Then theres Texas with there jumbos that as I understand are almost to salty to eat. So depending on where they came from and when they were harvested, they can have a completely differrent taste to em.

The Apalachicola Bay yields SO many oysters, they are shipped all up & down the Eastern Seaboard..if you eat oysters and live on the East Coast, you've probably had some...the NC/SC oysters are plentiful, but not on the scale of the FL Gulf oysters and tend to remain more localized...if they come from those areas and kept properly, they're as good as oysters get...:drool:...about the only thing that slows the FL Gulf oyster production down is the occasional Red Tide that invades that area...

That I know of, I've never had LA or TX oysters, but from Ferm's description, they don't sound REELAPEELIN!!...lol!!

theres something about puff mud that makes em taste goooood!

Yeah and FL and the Carolinas got the best Pluff-Mud anywhere!!...:clap:

:love:Cluster can be a pain .But always worth it.

Alright I gotta stand up and rep Goergia. I think its kinda the same with the shrimp. Any place that has good spartina is gonna have good oysters, excuse me, the best oysters.

As I sit here thinkin whether or not to kill myself for the time change next weekend, I remember.......Oysters are the ONLY good thing about winter

Must be those Louisiana oysters I've had that were not so good...I still ate a bushell of em, but not as good as the ones I get on the NC/SC coast.

My dad ate some years back and even said that the LA oyesters were nothing to write home about. Fl oyesters on the other hand can be some GOOD stuff.

Aw hell man...the only reason GA's got good oysters is cuz the little buggers get themselves caught on the way back to Charleston after partying in Atlanta!!...:happy::happy:

I know this cuz I married a girl from GA...and she knows stuff...and she rarely ever lies to me...well hardly ever...aw shooooooot...

appalach oysters are very dependent on the level of the river feeding the bay. if georgia gets a lot of rain and they let the water loose, they loose their saltiness. the ones i had this weekend were not as salty as i like them. they were very plump & that is a good thing. i am not a big fan of la oysters. i know a lot of people eat them year round, but i like the water temp to be below 65*

Got that right SSI. Nothing like a firing up the jet burner on a cool afternoon with a bonfire going and a little nip in your cocktail while playing some good tunes hanging out with friends and family.
