Although it might be the reduction in price he's interested in, tbf.
I am asking both.
Are supermarket oysters dead?
Are fresh oysters still alive?
How long do live oysters remain edible out of water?

He Is asking if they are better straight out the sea. I.e. caught by your own fair hand.

They are always alive. I just googled it, they last up to about ten days in the shell.
Probably. I have never seen them though. The whole thing about oysters is the liveness really. Man, I could really eat one now.Cool interesting. Thank you.
You can probably buy them cooked and then frozen though...?

Expensive do for what were once working class food!
Is this a Demolition Man reference?They used the shells to wipe / scrape their arses, rinsed with a 5% Dettol solution afterwards, of course.

Bluff (NZ) is the place for Oysters,fresh by the sugar bag (56lbs) mind you it's a long way to go for a feed and I can't stand them myself.i think they are glorious and amazing. Dublin is a great city for oysters, amazing!

I'm sure they are all good if you like them,ocker.well...im sure its good. But Dublin (espec Howth) is a top place for Oysters. There are many world renowned coastal places. and Im sure yours are alright like, mate.
Thanks everybody. I am afraid I am none the wiser though.
Yes. I was saving the Haribo as a surprise.
------------ anyway, back to oysters. Anyone going to convince me they are really worth it?
Are fresh oysters a different thing altogether?
I doubt there is much difference in actual flavour from picking them out the sea yourself and eating them in a seaside restaurant an hour or so after they have been caught.
Maybe it is more an experience than the actual flavour difference.
apart from when they're cooked, or smoked.There is only 'fresh oysters'. They're a raw food.
They do look like a pretty risky food unless you dead them and steralise them, or really know your stuff, or trust a chef.
Seems people die for this shit. I'll give it a miss..
They're delicious. Never felt the need to season them though, they have a fairly delicate flavour and are best enjoyed unadorned. Kind of like seawater mixed with phlegm.
I never knew they were alive, though. So when I had one, had it been killed by the shell opening or did I tip a slimy, living bottom-dweller down my hatch for pay for the privilege?
It is recommended to open the oysters a few minutes in advance before eating them, empty the first water that you find and leave them for a few minutes to produce their “second water”. The oyster -still alive- deprived of its water will produce in about one to two minutes a purified water very rich in minerals and salts. This “second water enhances the flavour of the oyster and it means that it is ready to be tasted.
