I have not had raw oysters in a while, but I do like them. They are like
a tonic. I always feel really good within minutes of eating them. When
we were first married we often ate smoked oysters. We ate them so often
that I got tired of them and did not eat them for years. A couple years
ago I gave them a try again. They are still good. I might buy them more
often if they came in a can with only a half dozen.
