Loogie eaters...

Gordon,

Kinda like choking down a phlegm ball. But if they are fried it seems to de-bugger them some.

Exactly JDUB - why my Dad calls phlegm balls throat oysters....

Fry them or fry your senses by completely saturating the salt water loogies with tabasco and horseradish

Oysters are deep water loogies, boogers or cold water snots.
Clams are shore-line or low-tide loogies
Mussels are blue boogies
Snails are sling-shot snots. Not periwinkles, they don't fly straight.

For boys 8 to 14 these along with segmented sand worms and baby eels were dare food (live worms and eels).

At least that's what I remember from growing up in the Oyster Bay area.

A more recent addition to the seafood dictionary came from a relative from Germany. She refused to eat shrimp because they remind her of garden grubs and she refered to them as bugs. Funny thing is that she is not wrong.
