I don't think there could be a better description :mrgreen:Frank Skinner once described eating raw oysters as sucking phlegm off the back of a tortoise. Sort of puts you off a bit...

Wouldn't it be from inside the tortoise/shell? I've never eaten an oyster from off the rough bit of the shell...
Sorry, bit pedantic...but I don't really like Frank tbh.
That might depend on how rough the oyster shell is, or how smooth the outer shell of the tortoise is.
Either way, I'll take those oysters with a nice mignonette. Yum!
I can't bring myself to actually try them :?
It is the thought of the texture that puts me off :

I can't believe you lot destroy one of nature's great gastric treasures by coating it in anything at all!! Au naturale is the only way to go with Bluff Oysters!! Mmmmmmm, yummy!!!

You can all have my portion! :mrgreen:
Our local oysters need a bit of help. Those lovely little Kumamoto oysters from the Pacific Northwest, on the other hand, should never be sullied by any sauces. I can't wait to try Bluff oysters!Originally Posted by kiwidebs
How long is the season for Bluff oysters? Are they readily available? How much does a dozen cost on average?
And why do I always become ravenously hungry when reading ENZ? Between the oysters and the sushi, it's been torture!
I only come here after I had my breakfast or dinner
Me too!! Shows people who post on here have great taste in yummy food!!!Originally Posted by coastcat
Not sure. Some years it is a really short season cos they've had problems with algae blooms or something. And I've no idea how much they cost either - I haven't lived there for eight years. My Dad always came home on the first day of the season with half a dozen for he and I to share (no one else in my family will touch them). I know they are not cheap - but so worth it. Much nicer than your usual rock oyster!! I'm sure if I did a Google on this the info would be there but I can hear my two little monsters shouting upstairs so I'd better go check nothing is broken!!How long is the season for Bluff oysters?
