... I've learned that mussels is one of my tastiest foods when steamed, but I hate them when raw. ...

    I'm with you on that all the way, so I avoid mussels.

    I have to find an oyster knife.  I've never used one.  I tried with a regular knife once on clam.  I'm so chicken.

How to eat Gigantic Raw Oysters

Eating raw meat is a delicious experience. Raw organic vinegar used here has live probiotic bacteria. Raw oysters here have the highest bio-available zinc. Who needs supplements when we have access to real super nutritious raw animal food? My 8 year old boy demonstrates how to eat gigantic raw oysters from Iloilo.

We first remove the oysters from the plastic bag. Do not wash the oysters. Get a dipping bowl with organic vinegar like Lola Conching’s vinegar. Dip a couple of oysters in just to be safe to disinfect them from possible bad organisms. Then use your chopsticks to pop oysters one by one in your mouth. What fun!

You know, GS, I've mostly been very envious of you, given the vast variety of raw foods you have available in the Phillipines, with, seemingly, no stupid laws to ban any specific foods. However, in this case, I have an advantage over you - the extra-large raw oysters I routinely get in the UK are FAR larger than anything you've shown in this picture.

Ha ha ha, please post a picture of the large UK oysters.

Maybe when I visit my cousin in his far province I can get to take a picture of their famed Aba Aba oysters which he says are as large as a hand.

No (functional) camera right now, but I will make an effort to post photos on this forum by next summer, probably.

I tried the 3 day old raw mussels and unfortunately still cannot stand them. I've learned that mussels is one of my tastiest foods when steamed, but I hate them when raw. I'll stick to oysters when it comes to raw shellfish.


Did they open this way? by waiting?

I'm handy with a knife, and will try it on oysters next chance I get, but I can see myself after trying to open 20 or more so mussels I might be left with some kind of mess possibly of my kitchen and hands.

    I tried raw mussels a couple of times and they were a total mess.  Maybe I should age them.

    I cracked cockles open recently with a nutcracker.  That worked pretty well.  They tasted good too.

Waiting for the mussels to die(and therefore open their shells) is a non-starter as the amount of mussel-flesh is a lot less after spending many days in the fridge. If one can't handle the taste of raw fresh mussels at first, then a solution would be to take out the mussel-flesh put them all in a pint-glass, and then turn the glass upside down with a hand to cover the mussels and not let them out, but with enough of an opening to let the seawater around the mussels to get out. Worked for me ,anyway.

Mussels are indeed messier to eat raw than steamed. That may be why oysters are the shellfish most commonly eaten raw--they are in decent shape raw and easier to eat and tastier raw.
