about the oyster

If you are in the Philippines then its very easy to find. Filipinos loves oysters and we eat them in many different ways. If you buy it here in the market a kilo would cost you 100 pesos or $2.50. Its cheap because Philippines is a major supplier of oysters, lobster etc around the world.

I think that the love of oysters, is a developed taste! Living on the coast, it is a good food source, that many of us look forward to when the months are cold. We barbecue them a lot, pan fried, or oyster stews. We consume a lot of oysters, but not a lot of raw oysters.

Oyster taste so tasty. I don't know the taste if it is raw, but hotel offer this kind of food raw and a lots of peoples enjoy it. We normally cook the oyster first. For the taste, I can't describe you here because the taste is not like fish, prawn, or cuttlefish at all. It is just it's own taste the oyster taste i can say.

I only had them once years ago and didn't really care for the texture. I put them in the same category as clams and escargot...they seem to have to be drowned in butter or be hidden in a flavorful dish to make them palatable.

oysters have got to be one of my least favored foods. to me they are slimy and gross, and I do not believe I have ever eaten one on purpose. it is a new years eve tradition to eat oyster stew. my grandmother followed this tradition and us kids were made to partake. yuck!
