Yes, the Native Indians seemed to enjoy the bivalve that was plentiful in the coastal waters. It is unknown why a man work contemplates eating a raw oyster was something good, maybe it was a dare or the rumor that fresh oysters were an aphrodisiac. Maybe after the first man eats the first oyster, he told his friends that it tasted like chicken and other tried it. Realizing they were tricked, they kept the story going until it became part of their diet. The conventional approach to eating oysters is to serve them raw. Typically, fresh oysters are served on the half shell with plenty of lemons for squeezing, Tabasco sauce and shallot vinaigrette (mignonette).: “Raw oysters—grayish and wet and cold and somewhat jellylike, briny-tasting and fresh to a flagrant degree that even sashimi cannot match—are not exactly the most user-friendly of the foodstuffs.” The very suggestion of consuming a raw oyster on purpose must seem, to the sorts of depressingly numerous weenies who must pinch their noses and chew at light speed just to choke down a Brussels sprout without dry-heaving, patently ludicrous.
There's no right way to eat an oyster. Take your tiny fork and sort of move the oyster around in its liquid-filled half shell to make sure it's detached. Then put down your fork, pick up the shell, and slurp down the goo chew one or twice before you swallow it. It's an urban legend that you are supposed to let it slide down your throat without biting into it. Think of an oyster like a grape: if you don't chew the grape, you won't get the full flavor.
