Margot loves oysters! It’s been a while since we’ve actually gone to Maxis and had good seafood. Typically she gets some oysters on the half shell and I get fried crawfish tails.

I’ve never been up for the slimyness of oysters of eating something that involves slurping and sliding down the throat. Eek!

When I was a kid my parents used to go to a seafood buffet and boy could my mom pack down Gulf oysters! The trick is that they have to be fresh and have to be under proper conditions. I remember after going to one of the buffets we came home and she was sicker than a dog.

One oyster joke I remember as a kid was:

Q: What did the girl oyster say to the boy oyster?
A: “You never open up to me.”
