Thought my oysters were gross? Here's what I had for dinner tonight (pics)
 

It surprised me how many people were unfamiliar with oysters, which although common here are a delicacy elsewhere. Tonight I chowed down on another current plentiful seafood delight:upsidedow
Can you tell which part is already eaten? :)

Here's a couple choice pieces pulled from the shell:

Dungeness crabs incredibly spiced by the one place around here not afraid of a little bit of seasoning:thumbsup

Belting back a couple beers for desert:drinkup

Oysters are great fresh ,raw in the shell with lemon.King crab is my ultimate fav..smothered in melted butter

Crab is absolutely the best! :D Love it.

that looks yummy

Oh yeah:thumbsup This place puts in plenty of Old Bay seasoning and isn't afraid of the cayenne pepper :glugglug

I'm hungry now.

If you are ever in New Orleans, hit Dragos and get the oysters smoked on the grill in the half shell. You'll thank me:upsidedow

That makes me want to throw up. I'm not a seafood fan at all.

But this place packs 'em in so it must be pretty good.

I concur!! We were just there last Thursday and ate 2 dozen charbroiled oysters. I LOVE them. I also love crab...and I'm extremely jealous and hungry now.

If you've never been to Drago's, you have NO IDEA what you're missing!

Man, these crabs were so sweet, tender, perfectly seasoned... you would have to change your mind about seafood with one taste:upsidedow

Drago's oysters are one of those things you leave the place planning your next trip back:upsidedow

Indeed! I used to be their HR Mgr. and would eat them for free every day for lunch. Oh how I miss that daily treat!! I would be in there eating lunch and hear people from all over the country (and the world) raving about their oysters.

Mmm... damn that looks great

Different strokes..you are missing some great food

I'd rather take the walk across the street for a good filet po-boy, more of a Crazy Johnny's kinda guy myself. Can't beat that filet poboy and crazy potatoes for like $5.

Used to love that stuff when I was in Florida - but was having dinner with a lawdog who had a habit of pulling cadavers out of the Gulf. That put her off seafood when she saw what the crabs were eating - and same with me! :1orglaugh

Lesson one - get your seafood from an area where bodies are not floating around in the sea :winkwink:

Yum Yum Yum

OMG! I miss crab legs.. Vegas has NOTHING on Baltimore crab.

Do you all eat them with anything like Old Bay???

We call them Maryland Crab : )

More specifically.....Chesapeak bay blue crab :thumbsup

how can one eat something that has more than 4 legs

Fortunately these didn't come from around here :eek7

These had plenty of Old Bay:thumbsup

The more the better:winkwink:

I love oysters, can eat them all the time!
