oyster fritters are popular in these parts as are raw oysters

i like the batter on the fritters but the actual oysters are greenish grayish and better off nibbled around and then discarded

depends on how hungry you are , i guess....

i have pulled a few mussels from the marsh and they are tasty, but scrubbing the beards off is a pain in the butt

fresh clam strips, battered and LIGHTLY fried are delicious, cok them too long and they are like chewing leather, still tasty tho

the local macdonald s has a delicious filet o fish .

... the local macdonald s has a delicious filet o fish.

And it's almost 90% fish byproduct.

Actually Ray, I recall once reading that it is mostly fish (pollock as I recall, and there are some problems with the sustainability of this fish, which is caught and immediately processed on factory ships), but it is the deep frying in the MDonald's oil (which is worse than a lot of oils used for frying) that gives it the high calories (something like 400-500 calories for a single sandwich).

NOLA has great food but the oysters are not part of it. They are YUGE but have a very 'muddy' flavor. I would never order them again. Tomales Bay and points north have lovely oysters as does Carnac and St Malo France.

Maybe I should give them another chance?
