Before this, I used to settle for whatever fish/seafood I could get.....
but now, it *has* to be so fresh, it's almost jumping.

They're as cheap as chips in Tassie.

$14 per dozen. (And they are that fresh, they're still pulsating!!)

What are they over there?

You deserve no sympathy! All self inflicted through years and years of
excess. Besides, it's probably all lies like so much of what you post
inevitably proves to be.

Still a turd though.

Fresh seafood? Barilla Bay? You must be joking???

You DO KNOW why they call that area just over from Hobart Airport the
Pitt Water, don't you? Wasn't the smell a dead giveaway? Don't tell me
you've only got a quarter of a nose to match your quarter of a stomach?
If the wind is from the North East, the first thing that greets visitors
at the airport is the stench of Barilla Bay (more correctly known as the
Pitt Water). That stench is enough to make you heave, don't need to eat
the oysters to feel crook.

When they built Sorell Causeway, they interrupted the tidal ebbs and
flows from the Pitt Water except for a small area they bridged. The area
now does not get flushed well enough and the decaying matter creates a
huge stench. There was some work done lengthening the bridge section in
recent years to enable improved tidal flows but the stench still remains.

Plug "Barilla Bay Tasmania, 1388 Tasman Highway, Cambridge TAS" into the
Google Maps search box and you'll get an idea why Barilla Bay oysters
might not be quite as good as others in the region.

Eat enough Barilla Bay oysters and I'm not surprised you heave!

You would do better to try the oysters from

Another really good one is;

This one is a bit far from Hobart but it is near a very popular tourist
destination known as "Wineglass Bay".

Not surprising, the place is full of oyster farms. You have only been to
the one that caters to the mug tourists. It's not the best by far. When
I took the grandkids over to Tassie for a holiday a couple of years
back, a relative drove us straight past Barilla Bay saying that was for
the mug tourist, people like you Peter. Took us to one further down the
Tasman Highway. This oyster farm doesn't sell direct to the public but
my relative knows the owner so we were well looked after. It's on the
seaward side of the Sorell Causeway and the oyster farm gets a good
flushing every tide movement

A gutless wonder such as yourself has few options.
