The Best Oysters Are Found in New Orleans - How We Eat

[@GOODMUSIC357]

I lived next door to Thomas for almost two years and he truly is a great man. We drank on the stoop and had some really good times!

[@CyclonexxxIce]

The best raw oysters I've ever had were in New Orleans. Just $13 for a dozen of absolutely massive oysters that were just pulled from the water hours before. Truly an incredible meal.

You haven’t been to kachemak bay Alaska I take it.

Oysters contain an aphrodisiac

[@wes788411]

@@Jess455 Oysters are said to be an aphrodisiac, so if you eat a bunch of oysters and you don’t have anyone to screw, you’re going to have blue balls.

[@ar_l_rvo.o5356]

I travelled and tried many oysters,when i was back in my country,my friend whom owns a bar imported new zealand bluff oysters,the day i had that bad baby with drops of tabasco,i will never forget the experience! It retained the water inside it where it originated from too,for me i would say,that's the best in the world,second is any coastal japanese town oysters 👍 for any seafood lovers,try them when you drink👍

[@RS-it2ho]

I can NOT with UPtown T!!! He's the type to turn the worst day around for someone just by being himself. We need so much more.

lol that black dude is awesome

[@davisx2002]

i was driving in Louisiana one day and i saw a little shack that had a stack of empty shells out back that was about 10 feet tall...they even pave the roads with clam shells. aint no gravel in the delta.

I've only had oysters once or twice because they aren't the most economical item on the menu. I love seafood though (but hate traveling) but I'd love to give something like this a try.

[@BOSS-xz4tj]

JTR ...then u probably want to travel to do it.

[@penepatitenor]

I need to go here!!!!! ugh!!! although...if any of you have tasted Bluff Oysters in NZ.... those things... are RIDICULOUS!!! my opinion, the best in the world! along with their mussels. But, ill be absolutely willing to try here! hehehe

[@herropreaseherro7870]

I feel like oysters are one of those things that is enjoyable to eat because you tell yourself it’s good and everyone eats it. If everyone ate tarantulas and told you it’s good you’d probably be fine eating tarantulas as well. In reality it really just looks like a soft slimy snotball stuck in a rock.

[@kavalia2307]

They do taste amazing tho

[@shumitawa8855]

Are they eaten raw?

Canada's oysters are truly amazing

[@matttherrien9608]

​@@villeray9911early spring, cold water Prince Edward Island oysters are lovely.

[@ProNzGamer69]

Bluff oysters and pacific oysters around NZ are hard to beat. Try oysters the size of your Entire hand, super creamy, would love to try these

[@tenou213]

Aww yiss. I really want oysters now.

[@Gregorydeon]

Typically, the colder the water the more flavourful the shellfish. So while the oysters in the southern US are tasty they don't match up to those found in cold ocean water. Try a Malpeque or a Raspberry Point oyster from Prince Edward Island, Canada, and you will see what I mean.

[@StuninRub]

Nope, cold water does not always mean better. If you like the taste of dirt, then yea, a PEI oyster is what you want to eat. A Pacific Oyster is leagues a head.

[@pinchevulpes]

@@StuninRub that old goat don’t know what he’s talking about

can't beat a Bluff oyster in New Zealand

[@bob_the_plumber]

The one local bar near me called Cole's public House in Amherst Ohio (sorry had to give them a shout out) always had a standard menu but then they changed up a lot of the other things like they always had oysters Rockefeller but the oysters on the half shell they would serve them plain with cocktail sauce or just lemon whatever you prefer and they would always come up with something creative like the one time it was a soy Ginger with cucumber and then one other time I'm pretty sure that they put a little bit of rice wine vinegar they minced up pickled ginger and I couldn't place the name of the third ingredient but I know they put something else in there and they were out of this world

[@KeetyPooh]

How are you not going to mention charbroiled oysters when talking about New Orleans oysters?

[@polarspirit]

That shucker reminds me of buba from forrest gump

[@percymiller4570]

Gulf oysters Are the best! I've had oysters from the Atlantic and Pacific. New Orleans has the best, freshest, saltiest oysters.

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

Kachemak bay Alaska the best

Freshest? Lol. If it’s alive it’s fresh.

[@toddevans5731]

Never had one but PEI oysters are amazing

[@BigLove101]

Great video!

[@ESKATEUK]

I’m a bit worried as I’ve started eating oysters and I absolutely love them. But I’ve heard a lot of bad about eating them raw and getting vibriosis. What are the chances and what are the signs to look out for, are there any signs you have a bad oyster? I want to keep eating them so any help would be great

[@shino8854]

Only eat them if the month has a R in them i.e November, December etc etc. Also always chew the oyster before swallowing, if it taste anything but the usual taste, spit it out and announce proudly to everyone...you don't swallow.

[@ronocthebarbarian3025]

I love Louisiana food! Best in the country!

[@insertnamehere9865]

Yo I was gonna say nice work on getting the cultural ambassador from the local government there onto your show, that's pretty neat and legit. In actuality I paused before pressing Comment and googled her name and found out she isn't the cultural ambassador, Irvin Mayfield is. I get that it might seem cool to throw that tag under her name but come on, that's not that different from putting 'Mayor' under her name - it's misleading, especially to people out of area. I also found that she entertains the myths of ghosts and a myriad of other lunacy, so please can you refrain from whacking legitimate labels on random people in the future? Also no politics videos please, you guys aren't buzzfeed or some other bottom-tier clickbait.

[@djproe360]

Whoa look at that MONSTER size oyster 4:50

[@wachirarisky4284]

I tried an oyster once when I was like 12 it didn't go well. I vowed to never eat another oyster in my life will I never break that promise, but it's still love watching others eat them

[@sirBighead12]

They're to die for. Literally.

[@dennisbougie8322]

I’m from New England and the oysters here are delicious. I lived in Florida for 7 years and I found the oyster shells were heavily encrusted with barnacles, and even smaller oysters stuck to them. You couldn’t get a shucked oyster to lay on a platter without it tipping over. The taste was fine but not the same clean briny flavor of a cold water oyster. To each his own I guess.

[@tonydetuna1923]

Are the oysters still covered with BP oil? The shrimp are still sick with infections all over them

[@BOSS-xz4tj]

Tony DeTuna ...just go a little heavier on the cayenne pepper hot sauce. It adds flavor in addition to killing any petroleum based viral or bacterial deadly organisms.

[@donkers1974]

I haven't even tried eating an oister, wtf am i doing here...

[@TheDarwiniser]

its the taste of the ocean... salty but not overpowering, mineral taste, smooth texture, savoury. best with a dash of lemon juice and fresh from the shell.

[@cosmokramer4703]

John Smith slight sweet taste from the ones on the west coast as well

[@strikedizzle]

Made with BP oil

[@manuwhanau4464]
