Use tabasco and eat on crackers? Get them fried?
Tastes like saltwater?
All I can really think of is the saltwater taste to tell them.

Or better yet, charbroiled.
I would not suggest raw oysters to a first timer.

I can understand saying this to someone trying them for the first time, but after that is ridiculous.
It's amazing how many people eat oysters as a novelty.

"you won't like them....pass me that damn plate ."

For a first timer, load it down with Tabasco, horseradish, cocktail sauce, and put it on a cracker. Enjoy.

Why? I had my first oyster, raw at three years of age. A tad of Busch as a chaser.

I was about ten when I had my first oyster. I was instructed to dip the raw oyster in cocktail sauce, then swallow it whole without chewing. After gulping my first one, all I could taste was the cocktail sauce and felt cheated that I didn't actually taste the oyster. I went for more (it was a catered buffet event), chewed up the second one with cocktail sauce and loved it, then a third, then a fourth...my folks had to stop me after almost a dozen.

I can remember pops giving me a dollar to eat an oyster when I was 5 or 6. I hurled. Then in about jr. high he we went to Felix's and I tried them again. Ate 3 dozen. It's been on ever since. Knocked out a dozen in a half last night.

Balls, how was dinner last night?

It was awesome Otis. Food and service. It was me the wife and Dr. bro-in-law. We had a dozen raw, order of chargrilled, fried green tomatos for apps. Then passed around the shrimp and grits, bouillibaise w/ Cobia, and soft shell crab dishes for our entrees. All were great. Mississippi mud and bourbon for dessert. 
Top notch.
Top notch.

Felix's is/was the shite. Paul had been shucking oysters since the 1940's, but Katrina may have nixed his employment there. He was an institution. I haven't been there recently so I don't know who's still there since it reopened.

Great. His bouillabaise is the shite...told his the other day he might win an award with it...

I am a chewer as well, the swallow technicue is for the innocent. Some people ask me how did you learn how to cook, and it is a question that for years confused me. I finally had my epiphany when my mom informed me of my first solid food to greet my mouth. I was a month old and bitching a fit, then I was silent which made her wonder as to the reason as to the silence. She runs out the kitchen to see me gumming on a fig newton that my elder siblings gave me. I was a very happy little man dealing with flavors not made by a mammary gland. When I give advice on cooking it comes from my soul. I have recipes in my head that have lived on my hard drive for decades. PS don't play me in Trivial Puruit.

this. I just had oysters for the first time charbroiled and loved them. I couldn't handle the wet booger texture of raw oysters

about a 143 years ago, on one of the wineaux and my first dates, I ordered her fried oysters. They were small and I told her to eat the oyster whole and under no circumstances, do not look in the middle. Then I said: "trust me baby"...

So that's when she started down the wrong path...
