Yeah, I get that. The craving for a boiled shrimp / crawfish combo was compelling me. The oysters could have happened anywhere, but when they're "on special" for $1/ea, there's got to be a reason and it's not a good one... |

Then again, it could also just be a rejection of the spices in the boil. Drink lots and lots and lots of water. Biggest thing you can do is stay hydrated. |

Veteran 145 Gahanna, OH | Subject: RE: PSA-#169-Oysters I personally stay away from all "Specials" at restaurants. Specials are usually yesterdays leftovers disguised as something else or some food that they need to get rid of asap. The oysters were probably on the verge of going bad, so they became the 'special'. Just my two cents. |

Interesting theory.... i guess i figure that if you can't trust a restaurant to serve you fresh and safe food, you probably shouldn't eat there. |

I won't even get fish anywhere north of Jackson, MS. Even then, there's only about two or three restaurants I trust. As for oysters? I better be a short walk from seeing water and they better shuck it in front of me. |

There are restaurants where the "special" is leftovers, and there are restaurants where it's actually something special the chef is doing for the night. Menu prices typically give you a clue as to which one you're at. |

Master 1932 Savannah, | Subject: RE: PSA-#169-Oysters It is a proven scientific fact that the alcohol in good beer (sweetwater, Sierra nevada, etc) kills all creepy crawlies in oysters. No, really. |

No, really. The ratio of oysters to beers must be < 3:1 as I had 2 beers and 1 dozen oysters. Plus I had two tall ones before going there. More like 1:1? Stella Artois and some local brew. |

Ever heard of a little thing called the Great Lakes or the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans? Guess I needed to expand my comment to include every where I have, or potentially will travel. So, if it can't be driven from the dock to the restaurant and put on my plate within the same day, then I won't order it. If I'm skeptical that it hasn't been, I won't order seafood. I do realize it probably won't kill me. It just tastes bad. I've had excellent seafood in Chicago and Boston. |
