    Everything that once cheap or discarded like oysters, salmon, and lobster now turned luxurious and expensive. And something that in the old times were expensive like chicken now became cheap and very accessible.

"Cheaper hygiene cost" you are very funny. Koreans call and market oyster as oysters. They don't give appellation to oysters so they can charge ten times. People don't know it is not the oysters but, sea water inside of oysters that gives out special flavors.

    Oyster farming really has very few critics and those who do usually aren’t aware of how it’s done. Not only are the practices and presence of the oysters good for the waters, the required habitat has oyster farmers actively protecting these areas from pollution and development.

      Indeed. Oyster farming doesn't pollute the ocean. More precisely, it can't, categorically. Oysters are filter feeders, and polluting the ocean they grow on is to taint the very product that feeds on the water. So much so that some cities with a huge oyster industry will spam public bathrooms all over the place to stop passersby from "doing their business" in the sea.

    When I lived in China a few years back, you can get grilled oysters with garlic sauce for about 1 dollar apiece. Used to eat a dozen of them with Qingdao beer on street corners all over Shenzhen and Guangzhou.

    Where I live on the east coast of the US oysters are still pretty darn cheap (probably due to our county being a large producer of farmed oysters), the volunteer fire departments on occasion has an all you can eat oyster roast (they are steamed not roasted despite the name).

    I LOVE to eat oysters especially with hot sauce. I don't like opening the shells because I accidentally hurt myself or sometimes its too hard for me because they're shut tight. I have to get them preopened or canned. In my city we have oyster fests once a year. The local community come together in one spot to eat.
    It has shocked me when I met some people who's never tried oysters before and even said they tasted awful. And also I think it depends on where you go to get them. My mom really loves seafood so she knows all the places to get them cheap!

    It's just perfect as raw. Also deep fry, soup,BBQ grilled etc.
    Cold water temperature during winter season & west region of korea mudflat offer great organic matter. Plus, If summer season had long period of heavy rain for extra organic matter...
