Hi, may i ask Jason; what did you drink to drain the oyster , you said it so quick, i am a foreigner ! And what is the red juice if you don't mind .

[ChefTips]

@treasureinvessel The red stuff was a red wine-shallot mignonette. You can top the oysters with it. I was drinking beer.

[treasureinvessel]

@ChefTips Thanks friend i try it !

[treasureinvessel]

[ryanpattummalee]

this made my mouth water for some oyster never tryed them befor hope so one day i will

[edpleasure]

When you eat oysters at a restaurant ensure the shell is clean. A clean shell is an indication the oysters were cleaned and cooled quickly. Secondly, ensure they are seperated or cut from the shell they are laying in, you should not have to "Fork" them off the shell, they should just slide off. Third, ensure there is no shell peices on or around the oyster, a good shucker should be aware of the shell peices and remove them. Also smell them, if they they smell fishy they may be bad. Cheers!

[ChefTips]

@edpleasure

Thanks for your comment!

Cheers!

[salhagen]

I like to think oysters trancent national barriers.

[kiminokami]

@salhagen There are oysters in other countries? We need to invade those countries and take their oysters!

[ChefTips]

@kiminokami

I am armed and ready with me oyster knife!

[kiminokami]

@ChefTips I don't even see the comment that you are responding to.

[ChefTips]

@kiminokami

Responding to your comment about invading other countries for their oysters! lol!

[kiminokami]

@ChefTips I just now see it. Disregard my last reply.

[XoLittleCadet]

Ahhhhh I'm craving oysters now. :D

THANKS A LOT ):

[Eddierayporter]

Hey, you left out Gulf Oysters! I realize there is a bit of an oil issue in some parts of the Gulf but here in the Houston area we enjoy oysters out of Texas waters. I have also had very good ones from Apalachicola, Florida! And I enjoy Texas Shiner Boch beer but really prefer mine with a good glass of Sauvignon Blanc

[ChefTips]

@Eddierayporter

That's some good input! Thanks for sharing that!

Cheers!

[Faztlan]

@Eddierayporter Gotta Love it!! I Love my Castrol GTX SAE40 Raw oysters with tabasco, lemon, salt and pepper!! Y un shot de Tequila Corralejo after I take 2 dozen down!! -TX

[tylertyler82]

I bought some oysters at an Asian market in San Francisco and the oyster was incredibly fat and had a white gooey creamy stuff running out of it when i ate it. I had to spit it out and almost threw up. I think it might have been bad.

[ChefTips]

@tylertyler82 Oh my. That doesn't sound good....

[ChefTips]

@civicturbolive

Some are okay, but some need the assistance of beer! lol.

Thanks for commenting.

[uhavemooface]

hey so oysters have sex changes every year.

[ChefTips]

@uhavemooface

I have read they changer gender at least once and not every year.  They usually start out as male and later turn to female.

[andresico2]

washing down oysters with beer? ... what a shame

[ChefTips]

@andresico2

What's wrong with beer and oysters? =]

[andresico2]

@ChefTips nothing wrong with beer and oysters...just washing them down with beer makes me sad : (

[gunboss201]

we use oysters to cook a singaporean quite famous dish: the fried oyster

(it's like a mixture of potato flour,water and then we add the egg when the potatoflour mixture is almost cooked in the pan. lastly the oysters,but don't cook the oysters too long. and serve)

[ChefTips]

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing your tips! Jason

[gunboss201]

@ChefTips no prob i like your videos i will share anytime i can

[blackmondae]

@gunboss201

Isnt it also known as Oyster omlet? hehe I love the one served at the local hawker stall...

[gunboss201]

@blackmondae there are two types

one is oysters stir fried with potato starch and egg

but oyster omelette is oysters wrapped in beaten eggs

[blackmondae]

You ever eat the one at banquet? if you have not tried, you should, the best ever in singapore! ( The stall usualy sells carrot cake aswell. )

[gunboss201]

@blackmondae where?

[blackmondae]

@gunboss201

I eat it at Simei and Raffels hospital. Fuhh, very siok. The chili sauce taste abit sour due to the vinegar added.

[gardenvarietypenis]

anything more lovely than a fresh oyster on its half shell?....more beautiful to paint than the rose.

the persians said sleep is like a rose. i say a wet dream is like an oyster.

[MapleStoryKillaStab]

you just made me hungry again >=D

Thanks!!! =)

[ppshchik]

Hey there chef Jason, which goes better with oysters: Beer or White wine?

[ChefTips]

I'm partial to the beer.

[spindext]

AHH JEEPERSS

[ChefTips]

Gotta keep it clean for the family.

[ilikeceral3]

I can't get over they way they look. Sure they could be great, I JUST CAN'T DO IT.

[UrmrslowguyROBLOX]

You should try this Oyster sauce: 1 Serrano pepper or  1 teaspoon Pickled Jalpenos. 1 can of Organic Crushed Tomatos. 1 teaspoon of Seafood sauce. Blend in a Food Proccesser or Blender until smooth. I hope you enjoy this Spicy Oyster Sauce. :D -Urmrslowguy

[ChefTips]

Sounds great!

[mishmosh2000]

Great video!  Love the bloopers!

[ChefTips]

@mishmosh2000

Thank you!

[manohman101]

Never liked the look of oysters but sure do love the taste!!

[7seveng7]

Slurping on raw oysters and downing it down with a beer brings back great memories for me. Unfortunately, due to my bad liver, I'm no longer allowed to eat oysters or drink beer for that matter but I'll always have the memories. Enjoyed the out-takes at the end = )

- Paul Seveng

[ChefTips]

@7seveng7

Thanks Paul. The first time I tried raw oysters was in Ireland at Moran's Oyster Cottage. It was a fun experience. That was over 10 years ago. My only regret was that I had my video camera with me and did not film a bit of it. It would have been cool to incorporate some of that footage into this video....

[7seveng7]

That would have been great footage to watch. I would love to visit Ireland on day and will Google "Moran's Oyster Cottage" after I finish writing this just out of curiosity. My car was attacked by wild turkeys about a year ago near the building where I live. I too was sorry that I didn't have the camera with me. Now I carry that camera everywhere just in case. You should too = )

[ChefTips]

@7seveng7

Yes, we are now carrying a camera at all times. Tim was out last October and he carries the Flip with him. He advised us to get the Kodak ZI8. It's a great little-handy camera. BTW, you would love Ireland. I want to go back someday.... Moran's is pretty famous. The place has been visited by many celebrities.

[7seveng7]

I just looked at their website. You can't go wrong with a business that has been in the family for 250 years. That's amazing. Looks like a great place. Glad you got to hang out with Tim. He's a great guy.

[lilspark3000]

I'm so hungry lol

[UrmrslowguyROBLOX]

I was wondering. Do you eat Oysters raw or cooked? Just wondering.

[ChefTips]

@UrmrslowguyROBLOX

You can eat them both raw or cooked. In this video I ate them raw. I may be doing a video on cooked oysters. Oysters Rockefeller is a common recipe for cooked oysters.

[JoeHell67]

Hi Jason,

very educational, thank you!

I never tasted Oysters, so i can't say anything about the taste..

In germany some restaurants put a little tomato sauce and grated cheese on top of them, stick 'em in a grill 'till the cheese melts and serve 'em like that.

They say it makes the Oysters less goey and by that some customers order them, that usually wouldn't.

btw. nice bloopers ;-)

Joe from Germany

[ericomfg]

Getting better and better, keep it up!

[ss40lv]

I just wanted to tell you I enjoy your videos, I have watched them all, I am not a chef but close, just a master mixoligist for now, thanks for the tips

[ChefTips]

Hey, thanks so much! What are some of your drink specialties? Do you have a good Mai Tai?

[eurohim]

I can't eat oysters...they look like snot and when I try to eat them all I can think of is snot. I've have come close a few times, but have yet to go all the way and slurp one down.

[ChefTips]

Ha ha. It is something to overcome-that's for sure!

[KrNvTeK]

ur vids need more views jason! they're amazing

[ChefTips]

Thanks!

[adsense1]

I hated youtube till I found this guys channel. Thanks Chef Tips..

[ChefTips]

What a cool thing to say. Thanks a lot!

[eyesofnova]

I always tell people that don't like oysters that like many things they're an acquired taste. First time I ate oysters was rock oysters a guy was a BBQing and they had a very oceany taste. Was a terrible first oyster to try but later on I gave them another chance and had oysters prepared at a restaurant that were delicious though I can't remember what type they were off the top of my head. Great video Chef

[ChefTips]

Thanks for sharing.

[liarsclub75]

Raw oysters are one of my favorite foods. When I was stationed in San Diego I used to love to go to the oyster bars. I also enjoy Sam Adams!

[JimboJitsu]

Nicely done, keep improving to the point of me thinks there is no hope in making a video as good as yours! Great quality, love to see you having fun too!

[ChefTips]

@JimboJitsu Oh, thanks so much. My wife and I do all the videos ourselves, so you can do it too! Take a class on Final Cut. It's a great program!

[JimboJitsu]

Thanks for the tip!

[stargatefansg1]

Yucky!

[Wivanunu]

Does your wife video tape you? I think we need to see a woman slam a few of those raw oysters!! :-)

[ChefTips]

@Wivanunu Yes, she does. She had a few herself.

[chinesedude001]

hehe like the bloopers:D

[SmokeyGoodness]

Sometimes it's difficult when you realize that you're landlocked! We only get frozen oysters here. (Well, there IS that seafood store down the street, that I don't trust).

[JimboJitsu]

We used to trade veggies for oysters at the farmers market after sales on Sunday. I am allergic but the wife likes em! You gotta stop by when you get out in this area!

[ChefTips]

@JimboJitsu Which farmer's market is it?

[JimboJitsu]

@ChefTips, The Olympia Farmers Market in WA.

[CaptCow]

Whenever I see an oyster I always find myself torn. On the one hand everyone says they're really really really good and full of flavor, on the other hand I dont eat seafod and I dont think I would be able to swallow, let alone chew somethine so slippery and slimey. Maybe one day when I'm really drunk I'll try one.

[ChefTips]

You only live once! Give it a try and at least you can say you did.

[heartx3lisa]

interesting facts

[azndude3600]

Raw oysters are the only way to eat 'em!!!!

[rickyriffle]

[ChefTips]

It is King's Fish House. There are a few in the SoCal area. Check out my website by clicking on the banner above. I have a link to King's website on my oyster post along with more info on oysters.

[linuxjvm]

Is it safe to eat oysters like that without cooking?

[ChefTips]

Yes, as long as they are fresh and alive.

[ermastarr]

Wow I did not know that oysters had 2 hearts, interesting facts.

I personally enjoy eating fresh oysters from the seafood market. Cracking the shells yourself and then eating them right away.

I also enjoy eating oysters with cocktail sauce and saltine crakers. =]

[JayeljayPLDH]

I've only ever eaten fried oysters, never had a raw one, and only heard bad things about the taste.

BUT I heard the same about rare/undercooked beef, which I finally tried and found I loved. So, how do raw oysters compare to fried oysters?

[eatingperson]

I think your sources on the taste of raw foods don't know what they're talking about. Of course rare beef tastes better and so do raw oysters.
