Don't we make anything in this god damned, two-bit, good for nothing, ain't worth a shit country anymore? Did someone forget to tell me that we don't have any fish in our oceans anymore? I know the pollution issue is bad, but mother fuck it isn't this bad, is it? Why the FUCK are my Oysters made in god damned China?

You know, I bet if I went down to Wal-Mart right now and bought an American flag, it would have a little gold sticker on it that says "Made in China". I bet we don't even make most of our own fucking flags anymore.

We have a lot in America...

A LOT.... America has almost 40 countries from the north in Canada to the south in Argentina and Chile... and there are a lot of Oysters...

Wal mart is China so leave that out of your arguement.

You can find oysters everywhere that are harvested in the US. It is far from difficult unless your idea of oysters come in a can or a jar.

It would be best if you just shut the fuck up, killed any off spring you might have produced and then hung yourself. Take one for the World man.

I knew someone was gonna make that play on words. Either way, it doesn't include god damned China. I ought to be able to buy some fucking oysters in a can that don't come from overseas.

if you resort to buying oysters out of a can, you shouldn't be complaining on where it came from.

How the fuck else do I get them? I am a male and I'm not married and I don't have a live-in bitch. That means the only things I cook are things that are ready within 5 min from the microwave, or whatever the local restaurants will deliver to me.

Oysters are ready right from the shell. So unless you take 5 minutes to open one, you're set.

How hard is a knife, a rag, an oyster knife, lemon wedges, and a bottle of hot sauce sound?

If they must be cooked, see above and use toaster oven for 3-5 min.

The world is my oyster...

Aw shucks! :upsidedow

ADG

time to move to china.

What's wrong with the Chinese oysters? You don't like their slanting eyes?

There's tons just on the California coastline.

Yeah, but then I have a dirty knife and a dirty rag. That adds to two categories of household work I hate doing: dishes and laundry.

But anyway... Those chinese guys buy fishing licenses in south america (Falkland Islands and Chile) and they get their fish there.. then they go back to China and pay 100 bucks per month to any of the 1000 million chineses there that work 20 hours a day for pennies.. and then USA buys fish from those chineses..

It's like a big and cruel circle.

Fine ask the guy at the fish counter to pre shuck the damn oysters for you and to save the liquer. No work, no hassle, ready to eat with condiments or cooked. Hell they will even toss the shells into a spare bag if you have a friend you wish to impress.

Otherwise find a fish market that has a high amount of foot traffic, and find some fresh oysters in a plastic tub. Non frozen. You will notice most are from your nearest coast with the gulf being number 1, and then East or West coming up second. Though fresh is much better.

Then again just wash the knife and use the oyster rag as a jerk cloth that way your peni will smell like it really had some.

I dunno man, oysters taste best out of a can... I've tried them every other way, but nothing compares to maple leaf smoked in that little peel top can.

If you like the consistency of snot... I can't do it, I'm all about the smoked oysters in a can.

New Orleans, Dragos, Chargrilled Oysters....one of the best things I've ever had, and they're straight from the Gulf.

If you're ever in the NOLA area you have to try them, they are the shizzle

non China oysters are available anywhere

A lot of people call me Oyster, so there is at least one here in America :tongue:

Shit I buy mine right off the guy that gets em out of Apalachicola Bay

15 dollars for a bushel bag

thats way way over 150 oysters

Tons of oysters in the US. Heck there's a town not too far from me called Oysterville and it lives up to its name. Problem is you can get them much cheaper in China. Hence the outsourcing for cheap-ass products like Chicken of the Sea.

There are restaurants in ATL which serve these. They are quite tasty and I grew up going to oyster roasts almost every weekend in FL.

Look tasty... though I don't know about this...
