Since it's not a good idea to eat raw oysters if they are dead, yeah,
they're pretty much alive. Of course, you have to remember that since
you just ripped them, body and soul, from their shell, their lifelong
home, in an agonizingly painful manner, they are most likely in their
death throes just as you are popping them into your mouth to crush out
the last remaining life they have on this Earth. Enjoy!

I love raw oysters with a dab of hot sauce but hate the screams you hear
when you crush them. YMMV

As soon as you sever their abductor muscles and mantle bivalves die,
the same as if your throat were slit and your heart severed from your
body. Bivalves do have a heart and blood (a clear fluid).

Wrong.

Only if you swallow them shell and all.

Raw carrots are alive also. Plant one and it will grow. I'm not sure
which is dumber, oysters or carrots.

Shucking an oyster involves severing the muscle that holds the body to the
shell. That doesn't kill them right away and more than cutting off a fish's
dorsal fin would kill the fish.

Lots of people get a bit of a lift from eating raw oysters. I find them to
be like a tonic that gives and instant invigoration. BTW.... don't chew.
Just sprinkle a little lemon juice and/or Tabasco and slip it down your
gullet.

What a dumb analogy, you wouldn't die from hacking off your finger
either.

There are lots of dumb food sites.

I notice you inserted "right away" as an escape clause ('cause you
ain't so sure)... obviously no living thing dies *right away* as in
instantaneously. But I can assure you that when a bivalve is shucked
it is dead before you can get it to your mouth. And just because a
dispatched animal's flesh quivers doesn't mean it's still alive.. you
can poke a dead frog's leg with a pin and it will still kick.

Yes, but they're sleeping. They won't feel a thing.
They'll be dreaming their oyster-dreams right up
until you eat them. Just don't wake'em up. :-)

Exactly. Sucking an oyster just severs the abductor muscle, freeing the
creature from its shell. It doesn't kill it.

Being such an expert on oysters, you may know that raw oysters are shucked
immediately before serving, and since cutting that abductor doesn't kill
them right away, they are still alive when you slurp them down.

Of course. Littleneck clams, too.

Haven't you seen them quiver and heard them scream when you squirt lemon
juice on them?

called Manapek Bay oysters....it was so long ago. Am I right?

I won't eat raw oysters. I get them packed in those cartons with no
shells, then bread and fry them.
They are good that way. ;-d

Slurping raw oysters is like swallowing ***.

I won't do that either!

I don't blame you. getting close enough to have to worry about it is good
enough for me.
