What I just found out is that they are only "killed" by the stomach acid, so I would prefer not to eat raw ones, but everybody should enjoy them the way he prefers.

ew101 Posted December 5, 2020 #27 Share Posted December 5, 2020 There was a March 13, 1986 editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine by Dr. Herbert L. DuPont begging people to not eat raw shellfish. The Norwalk Virus was a culprit then. Noro has also been mentioned from raw oysters. These are the same people asking folks to wear masks these days. I do remember a Holland America voyage on the Veendam where a pickup-truck load of fresh Prince Edward Island shellfish were brought aboard. I think they were served cooked but I can't remember.

canoncruiser Posted December 15, 2020 Author #31 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Being unable to dine at a restaurant in NYC for the time being, I have time on my hands to explore and lo and behold, I found an RMS Queen Elizabeth dinner menu from 1946 in which ‘Oysters on the Half Shell’ are on offer. Ah long ago and far away!😋 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah long ago and far away!😋 Hi CC. I feel for you at the moment. One of my favourite haunts when on a Queen Mary 2 day visit to New York is lunch in the Oyster Bar restaurant under Grand Central. A veritable mecca for seafood lovers... ***** ***** 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
