I used to like oysters ... fried or smoked or in a stew ... good stuff. Then I ate a bad one. What followed was not good, but what it left me with was a high intolerance for them in the future. My body detects them as poison ... oyster anything, even oyster juice which is used in some sauces ... and what follows isn't worth it. No more oysters. No clams, either ... same reaction. Won't test out scallops or mussels, either. So not worth it.
