This one came via IM from Kayden Kross: Please tell me oysters served on the half shell are not still alive.
The answer is yes, but they are very close to being dead, if they aren’t already. They were for sure alive when they were shucked, if not you run a really good risk of food poisoning.
If this bothers you wash em down with beer so that they do die happy as they make their way through your entrails.
Enjoy your live bi-valves…..
