OT: Rutgers oyster admission

[Mr_Twister]

On our weekend trip to Peconic LI, our group made a stop at Greenport NY’s Little Creek Raw Bar.
I make this admission …
We ordered 2 dozen local oysters, a mix of Oysterpond Pearls, Mermaid Makeouts, Peconic Golds, and Violet Coves. I ate more than my share of Violet Coves [NY - Moriches Bay] — their Grower: Rutgers women’s hoops all-timer, Sue Wicks.
Here’s their description — “The turnaround jumpshot of our oyster play book. Shells have an iconic wide-stance and they are a beautiful thing - smooth and well executed. Shucked properly, they are fluid with very little dribbling.”

Nice place to visit.

Oysters … cure for everything.

Oysters = one of greastest natural sources of polio virus (and others).
They filter water so they are full of nasties

Great spot!

Next time you are out there, try these. https://www.littleramoysters.com/farmstand

Their green bang sauce is ridiculous. Some of the best oysters I have ever had out there, and I've eaten a lot of them there....

Well screw the description - what's your take on them? I've looked all over for them, but haven't been able to find a place that carries them.

Go to Little Creek Raw Bar, Greenport, Long Island. They serve only locally harvested oysters. Draw your own conclusions.

I wonder what the odds are.. oyster -> dread disease. I'd imagine the chances are very low.. but if you repeat the experiment every day for your whole life...

Let's say it is 1 in a million...

That's 0.000001

So the chances of getting the good result is 0.999999

And the formula would be.. trying to remember.. 1- (0.999999*0.999999*..) for as many days

I've lost it.. I think it would be 1-0.999999 ^ days and, say, 50 years of days is 18262. and that roughly maps to a 2% chance of getting that bad oyster over 50 years... I think. Of course, who eats 1 oyster a day? And is it really 1 in a million?

Something about this thread resonates with me....

Erster Roasts along the Coast of NC are a neat social event to experience. Dig a pit, lay four cement blocks or sizeable rocks at each corner down in the pit, build a fire in the pit, layer in a base of sheet metal over the fire, add a layer of scrubbed and rinsed ersters on the metal surface, cover with a couple layers of water-soaked burlap bushel bags, steam for seven or so minutes, uncover, collect, shuck (use a proper shucker glove and knife) and enjoy straight up or with any combo of hot sauce and butter, and cold beer or white wine. Repeat.... Going to spend a week on Oak Island in a few weeks and looking forward to a roast....

Nothing better than Cape May Salts.

Remember being at restaurant in Sarasota Fl. With a mixed 3 dozen oysters from east and west coast. Hands down the best came from Delaware bay to cape cod.

These guys do an amazing job. Had them to a beach party.
