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?

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?

Maybe it's just the crowd you hang out with?

Ya think?

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

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!

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.

How about you set the example? Is that asking too much?

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.

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.

IMNSHO, the best oysters come from cold water.

Of course they are. You've never heard of Olympia oysters?

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.

That settles it...NO ONE EATS OYSTERS in Washington state. Julie says so.

Just for the record, I've never eaten an oyster in Washington state.

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.

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!
