Raw oysters.

I was shucking some raw oysters today. I ate 10 before I noticed, they have a consolation prize inside.

I'm rethinking about eating raw oysters.

I'm sorry I've never consumed shell fish... So I don't get it... Aren't those crabs?

And what is that noise in the pictures? And that petri dish?

@turningthekeys Those are crabs. I put them in a saltwater aquarium, and believe it or not, they're eating freeze dried tubifex worms like like crazy.

And what is that noise in the pictures?

I don't understand the question.

@Atlotto

pea crabs were known to be a delicacy and one of George Washington's favorite foods!

Oh goodness why.

So did you cook them via the suggested recipes?

Atlotto · M

@turningthekeys No, I ended up flushing them.

@Atlotto Sending them back home I see.

@turningthekeys LMAO! I guess so.
