Poor guy, RIP, but isn't there a saying that you should only eat oysters in a month with an 'r".

[pnz1]

That’s what I thought. I don’t eat them raw or cooked so.. Closest I get to raw fish is that fake crab meat stuff.

We just got back from Arlington, Virginia and my son’s girlfriend said that you only eat oysters in months with an r in them.

[Nifster]

That whole the World is My Oyster did not quite work out for this guy.

[blackdog]

Yes, the “R” rule.

[Jeff Chandler]

I love cooked oysters. Raw they look like snot.

[lastchance]

Poor guy. So sad for his family.

There is actual good reason to stick with the adage of only eating oysters when there is an R in the month.

And in States with a seashore. Raw oysters in Missouri? Hard pass.

Sometimes, you eat the oyster.

Sometimes, the oyster eat you.

Not that hard to COOK oysters. Perhaps others will learn from him.

[crusty old prospector]

I thought that was for eating rabbits.

“...he contracted a flesh-eating bacterium from eating raw oysters...”

I wasn’t aware flesh-eating bacteria liked raw oysters.

I heard that just recently but it was about horseradish...only months with an "r".....

here I just made a quick Manhattan clam chowder ..

I thought you should only eat raw oysters with the letter "z" in them...
Actually I like fried oysters. The best I ever had were from restaurants in the Kyoto/Osaka area. They were all great at the different restaurants I tried (even the Osaka airport restaurant). I've never could find anything like them in the SF Bay Area. I don't know why Kyoto/Osaka would have exclusive rights to knowing how to prepare and cook fried oysters, but that was my experience.

The literature on this is quite interesting.

Oysters, by filtering water, tend to get very high concentrations of this critter, and if the water temperature is much over 20C, it’s pretty ubiquitous from the Chesapeake on down south.

I was force-fed two oysters down in Florida a month ago, and didn’t give a thought to the fact that they were NOT locally harvested.

Odds are the guy had cirrhosis or diabetes. It’s a stretch to blame it on the jab. I also know people who will not touch sea water because of this. Makes no sense because they surf fish…

[Bob434]

out of {likely} millions who eat raw oysters, how many does this happen to?
