I learned to eat shell fish at a young age. Mainly BBQ'ed oysters with butter and garlic. I'm sad to admit, I was 41 before i ever had a raw oyster and it was a woman who put me up to it....

This place is a few miles from my house

but if you visit the Bay Area, look for this company at the SF Ferry building. These folks are my go to when it is time to entertain. i make the Mignonette for the raw and the Chipotle bourbon butter sauce when i BBQ them. No not a relation to the locale in Teton Co, Wyoming

They say the ruler is to measure shells....i think it is to see if the oysters are working

Good advice.
Freshest oysters found years ago as I was water skiing Hood Canal near Puget Sound. Swinging into a bay with a nice beach for lunch, I dropped the ski rope and my ski settled into a bed of oysters. Unloading the beer and snacks, we filled the cooler with fresh oysters. Salt water from the Hood Canal flavored the fresh oysters nicely.

BTW, Bozeman wouldn't be that bad anymore if a fresh oyster bar would open. :D
I mean, there’s a few places that serve decent fresh oysters, but they’re not specifically oyster bars.
 
1) mama macs still makes good Biscuits and gravy, but don't even order anything else
2) dave's was never the best sushi place in town, and is now maybe not even top 3 - hooked is the best. then seven. then town pump. then dave's. and finally hachi.
3) tabasco and a splash of soy souce on oysters is the best way to eat oysters

I haven’t had one in quite some time but mama Mac’s used to make a killer breakfast sandwich. Is that not the case anymore??
 
Raw fish is good and I've not been sick from it. Like some other life risks - sometimes it's worth it sometimes it isn't 😁, make good choices. Raw beef is better though, done right 😃.

@mtmuley it really depends what you have them with. Vinegar/lemon/soy sauce is common with them raw and it produces slightly different flavors to compliment the oyster. Id say it sort of tastes like a slimy shrimp. I also like oysters Rockefeller style - which is how id recommend having them if you aren't sure if they are fresh and high enough quality to consume raw. It's actually not hard to cook, worth a try.

Oysters are great...raw, smoked, grilled, but good Rockefeller is my all time favorite.

Love sushi. Never have been to Dave's in my 22+ years of living here. I have been known to grab some Albertson's sushi on the go...solid for sure. The Itamae in Livingston is a cool dude.
 
Did some TI work for a Japanese guy that owned a bunch of shopping malls. He also owned and operated a Sushi restaurant in the mall I worked on. Turned us loose as the only customers one evening. I guess it was OK. Might have been all the Sapporo beers though. mtmuley
 
yuck. kroger is where the sushi's at.
I used to get ahi tuna mail order from Costco that I’d eat raw. Came in 10# box of individually packed 6oz portions. Between my daughter and I, we’ve probably eaten 100# of it. Never had an issue. Unfortunately, they no longer carry it 😠.
