Joe,
Don't be fooled by all this hype. A few of us don't eat these slimy little things. Most people who do eat them, pour enough hot sauce on them to kill any possible taste the oyster might have. I guess I will have to take some pork n beans.
Actually, I can enjoy some good fried flounder or shrimp while they are eating those slimy things. The Good Lord invented fire so people wouldn't have to eat "raw" oysters. Wentzels is an excellent seafood restaurant and one of the most popular in the South.
