I've already had tapas and dim sum in the correct countries. But I'm not about to buy a plane ticket to any country just for the sake of sampling food!

Oysters in Seattle WA? I didn't know those were a "thing" here. Oysters
were a much bigger thing when I lived on Cape Cod. I don't even know of any
places here that serve them. I'm sure there probably are. Likely high end
places where I wouldn't go. But raw bars were very common on the Cape.

There are many different varieties of oysters, a lot of them from the west
coast. Anthony's Homeport in Kirkland offers variety plates with a good
sampling of them. IMHO, just as good as the Cape, and I live in
Massachusetts.

That could be. Don't think I've been to Anthony's since the 80's and only
ever went to the one in Edmonds. Just not my kind of food.

Wow. Just ... wow. The depths of your cluelessness remain unplumbed.

There are quite a few oyster bars in Seattle, and a lot of oyster
growers up and down the Sound. Oysters are popular in Seattle, Portland,
and San Francisco.

If you'd just STFU and google "oyster bars in Seattle" or look them up
on Yelp, you wouldn't quite seem as much of an idiot. Is that asking too
much?

I've had a lot of these things in their putative homelands too. "Foodie"
travel is a thing, but even by coincidence, most of those suggestions
are about right. Funny to feature 3 kinds of American barbecue though!

Ha ha those guys up there dig that kind of stuff. Were you aware that the locals have a most unhealthy interest in slugs? Well, that's the feeling I got when I lived there.

Someone pointed some out to me. But I do live in the area and I have never
once heard anyone say that they were going to an oyster bar. Maybe it's
more of a tourist thing?

My dad used to eat oyster soup from a can. I don't know anyone else around
here who eats oysters. Or if they do, they don't speak of it.

When we lived in Washington, my brother-in-law told me that buying
salmon in the supermarket was for suckers. Unfortunately, he never once
gave me a salmon that he fished out of a stream and I sure wasn't gonna
go out in the cold air/waters to catch me no salmon. That's for suckers!

OTOH, I could go for an oyster shooter right now, even though the ones
I've had over here are a pretty sorry excuse for oysters. I better wait
till I get to Seattle or San Francisco.

Ya think?

I'm visiting my mother this weekend; maybe we'll go to the oyster
bar and slurp a few.

You're probably right. I think those **** poor oysters must be coming
from the South China Seas.

No, it's more a a local resident with a clue and a brain thing. You are
hopelessly not in this class of resident.

I used to live in Seattle and still live in the PNW. How you are unaware
of places like Taylor Shellfish, Elliott's, the Walrus and the
Carpenter, or the Pike Place Market is unimaginable, other than your
penchant for oversharing your cluelessness here on a regular basis. Is
the SW Washington coast just some sort of terra incognita for you?
Never been to Shelton? Really?

I know of the Pike Place Market. I have no need to go to Seattle or
Shelton.

Oysters are common as an appetizer out here (not the main event) -
we're big on serving them at backyard barbecues, but lots of bars set
up an oyster bar for happy hour... only $1 each. Oh, joy!

Never. Olympia beer, yes. I just spoke to my friend who grew up in Seattle.
She didn't know they were a thing either. Hmm... Looked them up and they
are in Shelton. Have heard of it but don't know where it is. As I said. I
don't know anyone who eats oysters.

I have not seen them listed as an appetizer here but then we never do fine
dining and the only appetizers I ever order are raw veggies or bean dip.

Me neither, but I have eaten an awful lot of oysters.

I never said that at all. I said that I don't know anyone who eats them. I
have a friend who is no longer with us. He made mention of eating Oysters
Rockefeller. But that was many years ago. I do know that salmon is really
big here. I do know a few people who eat that but most that I know don't
like it.

Salmon is pretty much the epitome of healthy eating. And I have always
had the impression that people in the Seattle area are particularly
up-to-date with healthy stuff.

My husband and I eat salmon fillets at least once a week. Pretty
expensive, but we deal with it.

Yes, we do eat healthy stuff. Lots of vegetarians and vegans here.

I wouldn't know the price. Don't like it and don't eat it. Don't know if
it is healthy or not. I know some fish is to be avoided. I eat tuna once
in a while. Used to like it. Doesn't appeal much any more.

That's quite an achievement though. Unless you 'know' like two people
or something. I know plenty of people that like oysters and I'm
certain everyone else here does too. Personally, I am ambivalent
towards them.

I'm sure there has been someone I have run across who eats them. Just not
any of my friends and family.

Do you eat wild caught or farmed? I've read the farmed is not so good.

Had a conversation with a friend yesterday. He wanted to buy salmon
fillets and they had them pre-cut for 6.99 each. They were about 4
ounces or $18 a pound. You could also have them cut a piece from a
larger fish at $10.00 a pound. Slick marketing.

Of course. It is so popular because people don't like it. It is like
the New York restaurant that T+Yogi Berra said no one goes to anymore
because it is too popular.

We eat salon frequently. Friday nights is our fish night because we do
the shopping Fridays and get fresh fish. Salmon is the one we get most
often. We usually have it tow or three times a month and the most
common alternate is Steelhead.

I know lots of people who eat oysters, even then we are a long, long way
from the source and they are expensive and not fresh out of the ocean.

Yes, ADD ME! I love oysters steamed or fried in tempura batter.
I don't want them raw. Just gulping down raw oysters in a bar
is just a drunken thing to do and a waste of good oysters. imo.
If you don't chew them, you're missing out on much flavor.

Soon? Cold weather and water is the season for them. Soon, the
water will be warming up and not so good for oysters. Warm water
starts their spawning time and they're not so good then.

My mother always made oyster stew on Christmas Eve. I just couldn't
get hot milk and fish down, so I always had a dish of raw oysters. Now
that was good. I have no idea who and why someone decided that a
young child would eat raw oysters.

Farmed, usually. Wild is difficult to find around here unless it's
previously frozen. Canned salmon is wild, and we eat that, too.

I only get the pre-cut filets when they're on special for $3.99 each.
They are quite convenient. Otherwise, I'll buy a big piece for $7 or
$8, or maybe a single salmon steak that my husband and I will share.
