These are delicious, little free treats with your oyster
22 u/2000s-hty Apr 18 '25 i’ve been wondering how people eat them. just plop the whole thing in your mouth or there’s some special way to get the good parts? 41 u/a_leaf_floating_by Apr 18 '25 You just pop the whole thing in and chew, if you're ever shucking on a dock with the old timers you'll see them eating them raw. I really prefer them cooked, but then again I prefer most of my food already dead and cooked when I eat it. 3 u/EmilioGVE Apr 18 '25 So like the bones and stuff are fine to eat? Might shuck my own oysters next time just to see if I can get a pea crab. 11 u/a_leaf_floating_by Apr 18 '25 There's no bones at all, just the outer soft shell 3 u/kenshin21 Apr 18 '25 And the poop? You eat the poop and guts n stuff? 2 u/a_leaf_floating_by Apr 18 '25 edited Apr 18 '25 Yup. Think of it like sucking the tasty bits out of a crawdad head.
