Just happened to pass by it while hungry at 4:30 today. Went inside
to see if it was worth trying. The plump raw oysters made deciding
easy.

Very small selection of sushi. A few rolls and machine formed rice
with pieces of frozen tuna. You're at the wrong place if you're a
sushi fan.

I easily got my money's worth eating 3 dozen raw oysters. They were
medium and small size American oysters, the kind that I like. Better
than ones usually found at other AYCE places. The soft ice creme is
also to my liking.

The 3 jumbo shrimps I had were a bit over cooked as well as the
steamed flounder, and dungeness crabs. The steam blue crabs were
pretty big and cooked the way I like. Their house specialty might be
the deep fried hard shell blue crab. They were very popular.

Didn't try anything else because I ate so much crab and oyster. Of
course now 4 hours later I'm hundry again because fish, crabs and raw
oysters might fill your stomach but much of it is water. Shoulda had
a little meat and potato too.

$11.92 plus tip. If I had to buy at the grocery store the stuff I ate
there it would cost 2 or 3 times more.

I recently pigged out on raw oysters at a popular AYCE place on Long
Island, NY *two nights in a row*...and the next day I broke out in an
itchy rash!

Years ago i ate about 100 Deleware clams, and the next day I came down
with an awful flu.


:-P

Mmmmm, I love raw oysters. I wish I could find a place around Boston
like that again. There was a 99's restaurant near me that had an oyster
bar, $0.50/ea. The got rid of the bar a year after I found out they
had it..

Legal Seafoods had a good selection of seasonal oysters. I've had many
types from them, and so far I find I much prefer the East Coast ones over
West Coast. The last set I had were from Martha's Vineyard and were huge
and tasty.

B&G Oyster in Boston's South End has a great selection all the time,
but they are very pricey.

Dunno. What was it? Must have been connected with the oysters. I
never had that before. It only lasted a couple of days, but it kept
me up all night scratching.

Years ago, passing thru Deleware, we bought a sack of about 100 clams,
and I ate most of them myself, raw. The next day I came down with
what seemed like a terrible flu. Must have been connected with my
clam orgy.

Probably a reaction to toxins built up in the clams.. and maybe the
oysters as well.

There's always this small element of danger eating raw shellfish and
sashimi. Adds a certain piquancy to the flavor, don't you think?

Hey Wolfy, Moderation in all things, comes to mind. I get your point,
but think if you ate 10 lbs. of anything at a sitting, a rash would be
the least of your problems ;-)

It would be a shame to overindulge to the point you lost your taste for
something.

You're quite right, Buddy, but the motto of Shangi La is

Moderation in all things - including moderation in moderation!

Dan , I really don't know . I got his name from a good friend who raises
oysters in Virginia . My buddy said he is a highly respected grower in
Mass and the shipping charges would be much less shipping to me here in
Vermont . Anything around a buck a piece would seem a good deal .

Yeah, shipping to Vermont would be pricey, except maybe from PEI.
I'll give him a call and see what he can do. $1/ea would be a
good price..
