The lack of green stomach contents is due to purging the oysters before processing...they are left in clear water for several days in order to clear out the stomach contents...its an extra step that adds on extra time and money and most processors skip this step for that reason...hope you're on the mend Larry! Greetings from Canada 🤘🇨🇦🤘
I've heard of some producers using a similar technique on escargot to purify them a bit
@@ThommyofThenn A similar thing has to be done with coconut crab, filter feeders and crustaceans pick up flavors from the things they eat
@@sdgc8667 kinda reminds me of that "terroir" thing with wines. I bet a lot of different foods and drinks take on unique taste from the environment. One time I had this Dutch gouda made from the milk of cows who had been grazing on fresh spring mountain grass. It kinda sounds gross but i could taste the grassy flavours along with the creaminess of the milk. Same with this buckwheat honey i had one time
We use corn meal for Clams. Purges the mud.
@@BudTheDrummer so it's just mud/sediment and not poopies right?
A friend of mine used to rave about his oyster stuffing. Being a fan of oysters, I asked him if he'd give me the recipe, to which he did. I was reading it, and I noticed one major problem. His "OYSTER" Stuffing did not, I repeat DID NOT have any oysters in it. Instead of croutons, he used Oyster Crackers!!! 😆😆😆
I'd eat that!
Oyster crackers are made with real oysters. True story.
🤣🤣🤣
@@edwardjanowiak 🤣
😂
🤣 man I'm an oyster farmer and there's a million and five ways to eat them! But nothing is better than eating them fresh out of the water on deck.
I normally move 800-1,000 bushels of oysters every day and when ever I want a great snack I walk out with my knife and Tabasco 🤤
I wish I was you for a day
What are those little red worms that look like centipedes that live on the shell? I got bit by one shucking oysters at work one day. Burned like hell.
@@MrSweeperUSA lol it's not that great but thanks I guess 😅
@@waterlife.1905 I would have to check the invasive species log, but there are several small red worms in the oysters potentially, if the one your talking about came from the shell then you should let the farm supervisor know, they can spread and will compromise the shells of the oyster leading to crab predation and the potential spread of Infectious Diseases . Unfortunately there are a lot of different things that were always looking for on the farm and many times all we can really do is remove them from the system.
Depends o. The company you're working for as to how they will handle that, but it's definitely something I would address immediately as a farmer.
@@steampower9990 I can imagine its quite a science. I know a girl from Cape Cod who knows people in this profession (her brother has a tuna and a lobster boat). I grew up in VT and people have know idea that farmers are very smart people and I can only imagine "Ocean Farmying" is the same. Good luck to you Mr. Steam
green stomach thing: they were likely kept in clean tanks for a week or 2 to wash out any detritus and bacteria. they all do it for a day or 2 to clean out the obvious sand and grit
Wouldn't the fresh water kill them?
they use sea water in the tanks though often chlorinated. the important thing is it doesnt contain any grit. people complain about the grit
@@linux230
Clean "sea" water.
For those who've noticed the expired dates on the cans …I believe he’s posting some older videos because of his current accident preventing him from creating new content until further notice
canned food is often quite serviceable several years after the expiration date.
What happened? I need my eating on a budget guru to be in 100% health 💯🗣
He made a community post about his accident and removed it immediately after, not sure why he couldn’t leave it up for everyone to see
@@callmekirkland8 omg!
he's using a plastic fork:)
Wow, was that ever 'eye opening'. I had no idea there was such a difference in price and quality. Only goes to show, once again. Thx for doing this and sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍
Our family friend started an oyster farm in the ocean off the Washington coast. You get permits and anchor very large blocks of styrofoam about ten feet below the surface. Then you spread baby oysters on them and wait two years. He was very excited as harvest time neared. He had a good time with all the other oystermen also getting ready. When the big day came he and his crew motored to his lease location but lo and behold, the local boys had stolen everything. About a half million dollars of retirement savings gone. The local police were absolutely less than helpful if not totally in on it. You ask why gourmet ocean raised fresh oysters are so expensive? Ask the north Washington locals. But don’t stop your car.
you can't poach on their grounds.
Why is Washington filled with scumbags?
You can’t own any part of the pacific ocean 😂 it’s international waters and the USA own 12 miles out and controls 200 miles out
@@Athlas87 "you get permits" from who? Ummm the American government. Now read your reply and the original post as many times as needed if mine isn't useful to you ✌️❤🙏
so moral of the story is police are useless right? because true
Thank you, Mr. Wolfepit. Thanks to you I’ve tried so many new canned meats, and I’ve been introduced into a world I never thought I would enjoy so much!
Thanks Larry for the video I love smoked oysters and it’s nice to see a review on local American made ones
As everyone knows that everything that is good, clean, healthy, and hygienic for you is made in China. It is clear that the large food processing companies in America seriously care about the well-being of their customers.😂🎉
Wolfe, I saw you in my recommendations today. 3 Years ago on my old account, while living in a small studio apartment shopping at Dollar General for food, I came across your channel. You got me through many hard days, just wanted to say thank you and it's good to see you so successful with all of your subscribers now. I think I remember when it was 300k lol.
I grew up really poor so there were nights when the pantry was bare except for these. I hated them growing up but now I find myself making a meal of a can of smoked oysters, mustard and saltines because I enjoy them.
Like them in an omelet with green onions.............Love em.
I love this guy, haven’t seen his stuff in a while, keep up the good work
Wishing you a speedy recovery Larry ❤ we the people can’t wait to see you back making more entertaining videos again 🙏
They likely mix and match the oils because they buy what they can get bulk discounts on at the time of need. So some days soybean oil might be cheaper, others it's corn oil et al, and they use the cheapest oil they can to maximize profits.
And that's always going to be cottonseed oil.
The Chinese oysters probably use “gutter oil”
Glad to see you're all healed up and making videos again!
Hats off finding home brands and letting us, The People, know about quality products.
THANK YOU for reviewing these!! i eat canned fish of all types, i always consider getting these but haven’t yet because they have cotton seed oil and that is basically the WORST oil you can consume, it is so highly processed it’s almost poison to the human body which cannot digest it. corn chips are commonly made with this as well, try to avoid anything with cottonseed oil, read your labels people! thanks again mr. wolfpit
I think the American ones are Chinese, but with a different label on the can.
If a company does this and gets caught, they'll be in pretty deep water with the Feds. Especially these days with sketchy Chinese trade practices.
Legally they cannot do that
I think the Chinese ones are actually American oysters.
@@Sam-TheFullBull
As if international corpos don't get around that more often than not.
@@Sam-TheFullBullillegally, they can.
Interesting that the last one had 0% sugar, even though sugar was one of the ingredients! Also I had a discussion with one of the companies at one time. There is a letter code on the can. L = Large, M = Medium, and S and T (for tiny). There is also a B - for bits. I seem to think there may have been an H too for huge.
Made in China
=eat at own risk
The 0 G sugar thing is likely due to FDA labeling guidelines. As long as there's less than 5 calories from sugar per serving, it can be listed as having no sugar. The artificial sweetener Splenda, for example, is 95% dextrose(sugar) and 5% sucralose(artificial sweetener), but it can be labeled as having 0% calories from sugar per serving for this very reason.
The great value oysters were set in clear water and sel-cleaned, the others were cooked in a dirty state without cleaning.
Hey boss, on that Sunny Sea one I'd wager the oil had gone rancid. Considering "best by" dates and how generous they usually are, going 3 years over it was probably pushing things. :P
Oysters probably would've been identical to the others texture wise though.
Just put an order in for some Otter Kingdom from Korea, they seem pretty popular, with some people arguing whether they're better than the Crown Prince ones (also Korean).
*****
On the "lemon" oysters, I wager if you added a little lemon juice to the can and let it sit you'd get a bigger bang for your buck. The moisture content should rehydrate that dried lemon peel and give it a bigger effect than just a squirt of juice would.
Anything dehydrated or dried like garlic or spices you need to rehydrate before adding to food. If you're cooking something with plenty of moisture, like a soup or marinade you can just dump it in, but if you try to add garlic to oil without rehydrating it first you'll just have burned garlic bits in oil. That's probably why the "lemon" oysters were disappointing, wasn't enough moisture in the can to wake up the flavor.
Side note, Depending on how fast you go through garlic, you might be better off with the dried minced instead of the powder. I'm kind of getting attached to the minced stuff now, seems like it gives less of the heartburn effect that powder does. Plus it doesn't clump.
Thanks. I have a friend who loves oysters. You just gave me idea what her next birthday present will be.
Do more tin fish please. Great review! We love your channel
My first oyster was from Apalachicola Bay. Absolutely wonderful and one of my favorites. I, personally, don't eat them in a can, and rarely will I get them frozen from the store. I also enjoy the Virginia Point oysters as well. My favorite method is slow over hickory smoke, lemon, and a tiny dap of homemade cocktail.
Your review of Ekone & Sea Bear ALMOST made me want to try an oyster...almost.
These are probably some of my favorite treats. Been eating them for decades either on various crackers, in salads, pasta dishes, sushi when I make it, pizza toppings, you name it. A few times I find them at the dollar store and cash in on a case or two. Chipotle Tabasco is what I top them with.
What brand, please?
I love your videos! You're a man of the people.
...Please make that canned oyster and egg salad stuffed avocado and review it. Lol
I wasn't sure but have you ever gone through the different canned tuna? I remember seeing the Walmart brand not even being all tuna. Hope you’re feeling better. Thanks for the upload
Yeah one day I decided to try the great value tuna instead of one of the name brands and it’s one of the few supermarket items that you can’t skimp on… it was all chopped up and extremely watery even after draining extensively.
Growing up mom always diced up smoked oysters for her stuffing, it was the bomb, the oysters came in a can with the center of the top of the can being clear plastic so you could see the oysters. They were smoked and packed in salt water and absolutely delicious. BTW I think SeaBear are the best US smoked oysters.
Never have eaten oysters, ever, watched your great video & will now be trying them thank you
Hope you are recovering well Larry. Best wishes from the UK, i think you and UK UA-camr Atomic Shrimp should do a collab
As a fan of Mike's content I would enjoy that. I could see Shrimp doing a "Weird Stuff In A Can" video with something Larry sends him and Larry trying weird canned British food.
Yo, that would be cool. Or if Larry wanted to, he could give Atomic Shrimp an idea for his scambaiting videos like having him address the scammer as scooter.
Atomic Shrimp is one of my fav youtubers too! A collab between him and Wolfepit would be a blast !
I had some made in the US organic tinned oysters and they too still had green inside so I guess location isn’t what is determining whether they are cleaned or not. They tasted just fine however.
My can of oysters said caution contains oysters on it too. Like I did not expect oysters or something, and I thought that was really funny.
They only put the caution on there for legal reasons.
When I was a kid my Mom would occasionally bring home various foods, smoked oysters being one of them. Aside of my Mom I was the only one who liked them so it was kind of a treat we shared when she brought them home. Somewhat recently saw some at the store and thought "It's been forever since I've had these" and could not understand why I thought they were so terrible compared to what I remembered. Called my Mom and asked her and it ended up my Uncle would get them every so often (along with other stuff) when he would travel and some would end up with my Mom. My Uncle is now gone but he was a huge health nut so I'm sure even back then it would have been something made in the US and probably what we would now call organic and non GMO, blah blah blah. So I got curious and did some hunting till I found a place that carried something not made in China, ended up one of my local markets carry a US brand and the difference was night and day and what I remembered. Kind of scary the difference if I'm being honest. Significantly more expensive (think it was $10-$11 for the can) but they were actually edible.
You're completely wrong. Nothing about who made it. It's all about price. You get what you paid. China offers all kind of trim, from high end to low garbage. Just remember, focusing on price, not location
@@binz7087 Thing is I couldn't find any smoked oysters in my area that were from China that weren't cheap. Same with a lot of fish I see in my local supermarkets. I'm sure they produce better stuff, but it doesn't make it's way to any store around me.
@@binz7087Wrong....it is all about location. China's seas and coastal areas are highly polluted. As a country China is a damn disgrace.
Loved seeing the video! Amazing how different they all are. Although the things expired in 2020. When did you record this? Hopefully 4 years ago...
I get the feeling this is old footage that was used. I get why content creators post old footage, especially around holidays or vacations, but for some reason I feel cheated when they do.
I have been trying to learn to like oysters for a long time. I have had them raw and I have tried them fried, steamed, grilled and boiled in soup. I have had them drunk and I have tried them sober and I do not like oysters, but I have not hsd them smoked and I am still trying! Another great review!
i've put them in my ramen for extra protein along with kimchee and other goodies to make myself a meal.
Have to admit, I usually have a tin of smoked oysters in springwater (just the supermarkets own brand, it's the only one not in oil) in the pantry. A good protein snack, relatively lo-cal, on light crackers or toasted turkish bread with tzatziki dip.
Regarding these cans, I find it interesting that the protein content varies, despite all containing basically just oysters. For the local brands, not surprised they tasted better, given a higher quality starting product and probably more seasoning. However, no matter how delicious any of them were I don't think you can call them 'beautiful', oysters in any shape or form are ugly as all hell, like they fell out of the tree and hit every branch on the way down. Fortunately that doesn't affect the taste.
Protein content varies by the size of the oyster not the weight of the total contents.
@@Plasmastorm73_n5evv So larger oysters contain more protein per gram of oyster? Or is it just more of the weight in some packs is oyster and more is water/oil in others?
GREAT video! I too am a big fan of can-packed oysters. I love that you found some US grown stuff, that's got me curious to go and procure some for myself. Thanks again for this great expose, I'm sure you suffered a lot 🙂 Especially when you had to launch that nasty one across the yard!
Thanks for watching!
Great vid! Now we need a vid on muscles!
I knew you'd love the Washington oysters. We lived in Federal Way during the 90s, and often visited the various markets, including Pike. After Washington, i was to spoiled to try cheap china trash ever again. Lol.
I love smoked kippers and sardines; but after trying a can of these oysters I got at dollar tree, I’m traumatized for life☹️
Ha ha. Is surprised Larry did not get a packed container of fresh oysters in the seafood section of his grocery store for the standard to rate these by.
Were they that bad?
my dad loved oyster soup, i just can't do it!
You gotta use Tabasco on them and put them on a cracker. Delicious…
See dollar tree is the problem there, I’d never trust smoked oysters from there, you can’t just get them anywhere, especially not dollar tree which doesn’t seem a good store from everything I’ve heard. Walmart’s a safe bet, and I personally like Northern Catch brand from Aldi.
This appears to be a reloaded compilation, still good content for new viewers who haven’t scrolled way down to the old videos.
So amazing,..I was recently thinking that I need some more smoked oysters .I guess I'll go with Geisha .
I love canned smoked oysters. They are a tasty cheap source of protein. I used to take them hiking and camping when I was younger. They are yummy on a cream cheese covered bagel 😊
Sup Larry, as may remember, I hate oysters lol, love clams ect but not oysters 🤷, I did have ekone smoked oysters on crackers with cream cheese because didn't know it, was a Xmas party(thought was a smoked mushroom)lol. Honestly I ate 3 before was told. Maybe it's a mental thing? Keep healing and have a happy thanksgiving, tyvm tc
For everyone asking about the expiry dates this is a re-upload of an older video from a few years ago
You got me. Ima try those ekon oysters. Never had oysters but i love seafood so i gotta dish the money out just to try some canned ones that actually looked good
Loved the video! I’m just trying to figure out why some of these have a best by date of 2020. 😅
Larry Wolfe was recently in a car crash and sustained serious injuries. Hence he is reposting some older content while he heals.
@@jenniferwintz2514My goodness I had no idea. Now I feel silly. I hope he’s recovering well. ❤️
@@stephaniepearl4059 no worries, I just wanted you to know the reason why. I hope you have a blessed holiday tomorrow, if you are observing Thanksgiving. 🦃
I truly envy your ability to eat oysters. Ilove them as well, but they tend to leave my body in the quickest way imaginable. Not a shellfish issue, just oysters.
It's like you read my mind!
When you held up the Lemon Pepper ones to the camera, I started salivating.
Very informative...thank you! After watching I hit my pantry to see what I had. Only 1 tin, Crown Prince brand, from S. Korea. I likely got these at Trader Joe's which is where I buy most all my tinned fish/seafood. Ebay has these and does state they are TJ's product- but at $12!! There is no way I paid that, unless I REALLY wasn't paying attention. Will check next time I'm there for availability, price and country of origin.
Cottonseed oil used to be used as a mechanical lubricant oil.
I have never had canned oysters. I've eaten them fresh. I refuse to eat any grocery store purchased foods made in China. The US oyster brands look delicious. I cannot wat to try them out.
Doesn't give any reasoning, refuses to try something just because of where they're from... Solid comment you've got there.
@@notBrie I wasn't and am still not seeking your approval about my choices and preferences. Are you clear on that?
Those of us that harvest clams from the beach use corn starch in the water we transport them in to our homes and give 24 hours for them to self clean. My guess is the company that sold you the oysters with a clean stomach did the same . Figuring the green may be off putting to many people. I love oysters in any way but my son only consumes them from the bbq or in stew both with the stomach removed
Great test. I watched another guy's canned oyster test and his favorite was Great Value from Walmart.
Thank you for the info about the big commercial brands being from China. I hadn’t realized that. Plus, weren’t they expired by 3 or 4 years? And the Pacific Northwest has the best seafood in the world. If you want some real smoked oysters you have to try medium to large ones smoked and vacuum sealed in bags. 👍🏻
Those are the best but where can you find them except in WA?
No such beast as expiration dates.
@@Doktracy Main, Vermont, Massachusetts, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, California, Alaska, seeing a pattern here?
Also we don't know how long ago he filmed this...He could have a bunch of videos filmed waiting to be edited.
@@Plasmastorm73_n5evvhuh?
Im going to try the WA pacific oysters, they looked good!
Glad you're doing better!
I got an idea for you: Food things you would stock up for A) A hike or camping, B ) A very long boat ride, C ) Emergency situation D ) Zombie Apocalypse
I’m all about buying America made products, even if a bit more expensive, it’s a product produced by American families and that in turn keeps them paid and working. Thanks for adding those U.S. products to your review.
I can get behind that (despite living in Australia). Buying local where you can and supporting those producers is important. Most companies grow/manufacture wherever in the world is cheapest, paying slave wages and with conditions we'd never accept in our own countries. For locals to compete with that we need to make an effort, and I think it's worth it. Usually get a better product too.
@@SheyD78 All depends what the people consider important. In France its pretty normal to still do artisan work compared to alot of the world.
But then again the French dont mind paying abit more for a good bread, instead of buying a cheap industrial bread thats not good due to fast acting yeast that does not brake down gluten etc.
Hope we all become more like the french. Food etc is very important.
Like the beef i eat today is lower quality than i eat as a kid, simply due to capitalism. All beef was grassfed in my country when i was a kid, no more. Grassfed is premium stuff now and grainfed is the cheaper option.
I like to buy American too, but when it comes to food it's a serious matter of safety. China has a long history of intentional food tampering. Then there are people who don't intentionally poison their food but unknowingly do. There isn't a drop of water in china that is actually safe to drink. Farmers pump water from polluted rivers to water their crops. And you can bet money that the reason why all those oysters tasted metallic was because of the polluted water they were grown in. If I am buying something new I always look to see where it's from. If it says china I put it back on the shelf....
Generally I agree too. Although, if the American product is 3x more expensive, I think I'd pass.
@@mygoatisdead Maybe if you're eating Smoked Oysters regularly, or it's just whats in the budget; but, if you're like me - and only buy them when you have a particular craving, it seems like the more expensive/US Made product probably the way to go. Just a better, more satisfying experience.
Cheap ones are probably meant to be implemented in a recipe(which requires cooking). The taste results would be different. The context in which the product is meant to be used for is important.
Why would you use something that tastes bad by itself in a larger dish?
@@FishSauc It's intended purpose is not to be eaten smoked. It's meant to be cooked further with heat, and smothered in sauce.
I hope you are feeling better today, Larry ❤
this is what i needed right now
👍👍i love canned oysters! i do remember really liking Geisha brand too. interesting fact: my friend worked on a fishing boat for over 20 yrs, not sure about oysters, but when it comes to canned fish, shrimp in a bag you see in freezers of supermarkets products, according to him, they made them all right there on a ship for all the different companies: they processed, cooked and packaged all the same product, in accordance to Company recipe, using several Company's packaging and labels. he went on several joint ventures with companies from Japan and Russia.. so all the different brands are often made on a boat, really not in any particular country..
Good information. Thank you.
Also, I've read that US companies are sending raw products to China, i.e chicken, fish, oysters, for processing into individual products like chicken nuggets, etc. So they are processed in a factory in China of unknown cleanliness and other things US companies have to follow as dictated by law, just to save money.
Scary.
17:18 like many foods, especially processed/canned ones I think the fewer ingredients the better!
I can't believe I just watched a 20 min video on canned oysters.... I loved it.
It’s that green stuff that worries me, especially if they’re farm raised in China.
Nothing like a chemical plant, animal processing up river dumping out into their farm raised seafood.
Won’t touch any seafood out of China.
Omg canned smoked oysters with onion pearls are one of my favorite snacks!!
All yours.
What like a salad?
I love oysters and would eat these if they weren't packed in seed oil or a product of china.
Sunflower oil is great though :/
I'm not crazy about the oil either, but love the oysters. So what I do is rinse them off to get rid of most of the oil. I know that sounds weird, but it's just something I've done for many years. Then I like to eat them on crackers with cheese or sometimes I'll just eat them directly out of the can.
Very smart man.
@@Linda7647OMG seafood and cheese 😮🤢🤮🤮
@@linux230 I agree that cheese should never be paired with nice seafood, like fish, shrimp, lobster, etc (I can't even eat cheese on a fish sandwich). But these are canned oysters and they work as a decent appetizer on crackers with a port wine cheese spread. It's actually quite good.
My late father loved oysters. If I could have seen this 3 years ago, I would have gotten a box of them as a Christmas gift.
Sorry for your loss ❤
Man I was just thinking about this channel the other day. Haven't watched a video in years.
That warning is just about on everything here in California
I love oysters, but can't have shell fish anymore. 😢
When I did eat them I got local only and cooked them myself.
the main thing to watch out for is the mercury content. chinese oysters farm raised are full of it. its all about the sourcing
When was this filmed? A couple of these had expiration dates of 3 and a half years ago.
The "sunny sea" can was a few years past the expiration date
This video is a re-post due to the fact that Larry had a very debilitating accident & is unable to make new videos until he has recovered. He had an announcement that stated all that.
@@j.l.emerson592I hope he gets better. I think he's the one that went on the carnivore diet.
The best by date on the Sunny Sea oysters was June 2020, might have something to do with the sour taste.
i thought he made this back 2020😂
@@wdnmd6603 its just a reupload of a old vid he made 6 years ago with extra black ending
nice to see a retro review you arent wearing finger nail polish keep up good work love you
just had my first can of oysters at 31years old just polished them off love them.
The Ekone habanero oysters are fantastic. Cannot afford them these days.
I had some last night and it was delicious!
Chop round onion and few green onion and soy sauce on top and a squeeze of lemon and mix, the add more depth, I do it most food , and great way to add vegetables and throw. This mix on top. Semese seed oil great too.
If you like smoked taste. Fish or pork fried , shred the pork or cut small after it’s almost cooked and you turn them over , throw in thin round onion and smoke
Liquid flavor then soy sauce and lemon and cover , just turned off so it can steam and cook. About 4 minutes mix it to get the bottom juices and the smoke flavor and onion everywhere. Great meal with rice or baked potato
Reese and Geisha are the best of the bunch. But you are right, it is inexcusable that these aren't product of the USA.
I don't think its sad that the oysters are grown in China, the world is closer and closer connected. Chinese eat food made in America too.
I like smoked oysters on nacho cheese Doritos. Good stuff Maynard.
Is this a reupload, i remember seeing this or similar video long ago, and also everything has expiration date of 2020?
Wolfe recently was in a car accident and is in recovery. So I guess he’s uploading old videos to keep us posted.
Never been an oyster person. I might try one farm fresh or even wild if i knew the waters to be wholesome. But frankly the idea of canned seafood of any kind, especially oysters is not for me. I don't judge other people's taste in food since it's entirely personal so I'm glad you guys like them. Anyway, I've just seen a historical foods video about thanksgiving during ww2 and oyster stuffing was on their menu! Again, the idea of something with that texture in stuffing is not for me but im curious about it from a purely culinary perspective
6:55 Maybe the 2% fiber comes from the oyster's stomach contents?
They must have measured the percentage of green stuff in each oyster.
So many of the cans of oysters you ate had "Best By" dates years in the past, just FYI. Also, I love the WalMart brand warning: "CAUTION: IN SPITE of careful inspection procedures, occasional shell fragments may be present." Does this mean that one out of every four QA inspectors are disgruntled and deliberately throwing bits of shell in random cans?
There is a limit on how far out companies can put a best buy date. Not for safety of the specific product but overall safety and simplicity of all products. I'm 100% sure the oysters he ate were well within safety range. Canning is extremely good at preserving foods.
@@Sturrmm Also to cover their bottom line if someone gets sick eating something past the best by date.
Now I want Oysters and thank to you now I know which to get, Habanero and Lemon Pepper it is.(I'll just add a bit of lemon squeeze of my own)
i really appreciate your hard work on this one. i have been looking for other oyster option other than just in water. all the oil ones from china taste like trash
I'll pass on the oysters, Thank you, Larry. These critters remind me of my high school prom date!
Grow up
BET THEY BOTH TASTED THE SAME TOO.
@@meauxjeaux431😮😳
I’m sure you’re a real prize.
Back in the late 70s i was a teenager and we bought fresh oysters in A jar to mske oyster stuffing. We lived in Maryland at the time. We also slways had fresh crab. And like most of united states have meat markets when i lived in North Carolina we always went to seafood markets. Sure do miss those days, i live in arkansas now.
6:05 Or maybe because it was three years past the best by date? Did you make this video three years ago and just upload it today? Anyway, thanks for all the great videos and have a great Thanksgiving!
It's a reupload since he is recovering from a serious accident. Check his community tab on this channel.
I’m 58 and just started to eat some oysters.I bought the Reese brand oysters that were farm raised in China and I thought they were really good.
PLEASE DO NOT EAT ANYTHING FROM CHINA AND MOST ESPECIALLY NOT TO EAT FARM RAISED! FARM RAISED IS NOTORIOUS FOR POLLUTANTS!
You neglected to mention *the* most delicious oyster dish of all time: kaka okonomiyaki! Unfortunately for anyone outside Japan, you may never get to try it but let me tell you, it’s worth going all the way there just for that one phenomenal dish, usually loaded with oysters. Btw, one weird thing I noticed on all the nutritional values in your video is not one lists perhaps the most important beneficial minerals of oysters: iodine, something we absolutely must have but our bodies don’t produce.
Not sure if it's the same in the US, but over here iodine is added to table salt, so one doesn't really need to worry about their iodine intake
@@lcg3092 Who uses table salt anymore? Most people use sea salt which typically doesn’t have iodine added.
@@papwithanhatchet902 Well, where I'm from and where I'm currently living, everyone basically. We also use sea salt but more rarely. Then again, not sure if there's some new cooking fad in the US.
I tried oysters Rockefeller in August for the first time eating oysters and liked them. Then I tried smoked oysters and couldn't do it. I'll stick to fresh! 😮
It's an acquired taste. Lol
Yes very differrent. We've smoked raw oysters before and they are phenomenal. It's the canning in metal that changes them into something completely different.
that fountains of wain comment was gold!
Had to like this video because he legit risked his life in one of the tests.
