oysters alive when eaten?
Hi, I've looked and looked and can't find any information as to whether
oysters are alive when they are eaten. I know that if they die naturally their shells open up, but that doesn't necessarily mean that when you pry their shells open they instantly die. AFAIK it's just a muscle that hold it closed. Does anybody know this information -- namely how long it takes them to die after they've been shucked? Thanks! |

I like to hear them scream when I shake on the hot sauce or lemon juice. feffer |

I'm not against oysters but the thought of eating a live beast is revolting.
YMMV |
