What did one oyster say to the other? Nothing, he clammed up.
Now that the ice has been broken (I know, what ice? But they said create an oyster joke and it reminded me of The Far Side cartoon where Lincoln's looking over the portion of his speech that says "That was a duck!" (wait for laughter) "Four score and seven years ago...") let me tell you about this site that gives you all sorts of information about Gulf oysters and other types of oysters. They provide nutritional information and other facts. For instance, while not a serious threat to healthy individuals, consumption of raw or undercooked oysters by at-risk individuals may cause serious illness or even death from Vibrio vulnificus bacteria. What should you know and what steps should you take? All this and more is at the Be Oyster Aware site.
