Really? Because you recommend them, I will seek them out and try them.
To date, I've not been convinved of the qualities of East Coast oysters
-- not enough flavor for me, and too 'sandy' tasting (not texture). But
then, have not had Virginia Beach oysters - only Long Island and
Maryland.

I prefer the cold, clear water oysters of New Zealand, Tomales Bay and,
expecially, Washington State.

As for Gulf oysters .... yuk ....
