re: Two deaths in Florida linked to raw oysters from Louisiana this month

It’s a rule of thumb. Months with R are usually colder and dryer than those without. Meaning less fresh water, higher salinity level and colder temperatures leading to less bacterial growth.

Just doesn’t seem like the name of a restaurant I would go to and trust eating the oysters there
The Rustic Inn is awesome. South Florida is basically Yankee territory and finding seafood we are used to is hard to find. But there- they serve blue crabs and Louisiana oysters. I was appalled at the ugly arse grey shrimps they eat down there. Tiger Shrimp is what they serve most places- and they are gross.

That is 5,479,452 oysters per day. I highly doubt it.

Woops. Read that as in a single year
That’s 7,610 dozen per day every day for 60 years.

Who eats raw oysters in the summer? We never ate raw oysters til November. Stopped in April. I thought that was a given.

Why the hell would you want to eat oysters from the gulf right now in the first place? It’s been 100 degrees out for the last 3 months and the water is like swimming in bath water.

Also don't eat them in summer.
Is it that the bacteria is in the oysters during the warm water months of the summer or that it grows after harvesting them in the summer?
Meaning could an oyster fisherman eat a freshly harvested oyster in the summer months or is it even unsafe for him to eat them then?

I always understood it was because oysters spawned in the summer.

No, it’s 91k per day. Still hard to believe, though.

Was coming to post this. Still don’t believe it, but this is vastly more likely

The month just has to have a R, not necessarily end with one. Although the R in September is a soft R.

Both are true. Higher level of bacteria in the water to start off with and harder to handle at appropriate temperatures.
There is something aweful about getting sick off a bad oyster. Is a different kind of sick. It’s a terrible experience.

Don't eat Oysters during the hot months.
Years ago, we finished a fishing trip out of Hopedale and it was 100 degrees. As we were approaching the landing, we noticed dozens upon dozens of oysters were bagged and sitting out in the 100 degree weather waiting to be picked up. No way I would eat one during hot months.

Yeaaaaa I wish I had never eaten cold water boston oysters.
Same I used to love gulf oysters until I actually had a decent oyster.
Does this bad timeframe apply to Boston oysters?

Murder Point oysters are outstanding. Definitely give these a try if you can find them.

Does this include Rocky Mountain oysters? I know several OT posters that love slurping these down.

I don’t know of any off bottom oyster farms in Louisiana. If you do point me in their direction because I want to try them.
Jolie Pearl in downtown Baton Rouge serves off bottom La oysters, or used to at least. I believe there are others, but Ida may have messed it all up.
