For being such a jokester, you can really be extremely respectful and professional And I appreciate that

“Show the other oysters what’s up”

Something to consider is that Oysters are filter feeders, so they clean a massive amount of water, over fishing basically removes them from the environment causing it to literally break down and species that lives there disappears within a decade or two.
The cleaner the water from the filtering process the more sunlight reaches the bottom which helps more species thrive.
That is why they are sustainably farming them now and not destroying the natural wild oyster reefs anymore. The damage was already done in the past, the modern oyster industry is helping to clean the chesapeake bay.
@@frankmeyer5128 Yeah but did you know in the South China Sea, the spat between Taiwan and 'West' Taiwan caused the latter to paint the entire water pink with some sort of chemical? Would take more than oysters to clean that up.
@@dra6o0n that has nothing to do with oyster farming vs over harvesting of wild oysters and it's effects on the environment.
@@frankmeyer5128 It has everything to do with human activities and how nations being spiteful will commit scorched earth on the literal environment.
Oh yeah, illegal fishing is still a thing with fishing boats from China.
@@dra6o0n You were talking about over fishing destroying the ecosystem. I said that's why they are sustainably farming them now, having the same amount of oysters in the farm to filter the water while still re establishing native oyster reefs. You even mentioned that they are filter feeders and clean the water. I was talking about how people are restoring waterways and now you're using it as an excuse to complain about China and Taiwan trying to conquer each other. I specifically mentioned the Chesapeake Bay, the location of this video.
Loved this episode! I grew up in coastal central florida and now live in south eastern coastal Virginia and oysters are my favorite! A bushel of oysters is a party/bbq staple for my family. Glad you covered the virginia oyster industry, I was just at an oyster bar in Virginia beach a couple days ago eating oysters from all over the region.
Thanks for the life story
If you liked that, be sure to keep an eye out for my auto biography!
@@anthonypalumbo2003 Interesting conversations attract interesting people *and ...conversations.*
Echo-chambers silence all but the most holy, whom eventually self-suffocate from said lack of dialogue.
In your case; Silence is golden, duct tape is grey.
He should have gone to VA Beach not Richmond for good seafood. You know what's up.
Oystering near the mouth of the Suwanee River was forbidden for years because the water going into the Gulf was full of bacteria. Then they cleaned up the river and it was resumed. After a few years… I think they wiped out the oysters as I haven’t seen any offered from that area. Not sure.
You make me want seafood now! That area on the water looks so beautiful and peaceful! ❤😊🦪
Go to Chincoteague, Virginia if you want, peaceful and fantastic seafood
Great viewing as always, I'm sixty-four now and in the West of Scotland's rich waters we used to put our mussels,clabbydhu's (giant mussels) and other bivalves into buckets filled with the sea water and flour added so the flour flushed out the digestive system.
Have a look at the Oregon State University's method of Enhanced Depuration Researchers, led by Professor Yi-Cheng Su who tweaked the depuration process to improve its effectiveness.
A similar technique has been used in the United Kingdom for decades now for small to industrial solutions.
But the attention to detail in the farmer here will be a thing to learn from and maybe improve for sustainability.
Thanks to ALL who made this possible.
You should try Namibian oysters if you ever swing around here again, as you did not really visit our coast when you were here.
I can vouch Namibian oysters are freaking amazing. My top ones are sydney rock, nambian, kelly and tasmanian in no particular order.
@@zamie4001 Sydney Rocks are the only ones i eat.
@@user-sp4gy7ko5lPerhaps you should try some Alaskan oysters sometime. Wear garters or you will lose your socks.
Namibian oysters are special! I have eaten them. Very delicious!
Interesting. I own a house on the water in lower Potomac/upper Chesapeake Bay where I grow my oysters exactly like this off my dock. What I didn’t hear in this video is how these multi million dollar oyster companies submit applications to start new farms encroaching on the water rights at the water front homes that people pay a lot of money for. The HOA of the creek that my house is on is fighting one of the local oyster companies who submitted 3 - 4 applications to implement football field size fields. Several were submitted at the mouth of the creek, preventing Bay access. Doing this basically ends water recreation by the home owners who live in the coveted areas. Other than that chief complaint, the oysters are wonderfully sweet and delicious and so are the blue crabs that are abundant. BTW the above information is a matter of public record.
Ooftah. Beautiful Minnesota explanation.
This series is great my favorite is sunny trolling around his yeti and looking to fill it up full of amazing seafood. Product placement aside it's truly a high quality cooler and I love that it's getting used.
"We demand excellence here in the United States." 😂 Damn right! Thanks Sonny. Next episode: Pelican meat.
It’s due to the colder water temps in Canada, oysters grow slower
ONLY EXCELLENCE IS ACCEPTABLE, failures meet the plank
That’s why i only eat oysters in the winter or early spring. Plus they’re much more fatter and sweeter then. Summer oysters are skinnier and prone to diseases in warmer temps and that’s why so many people get seafood poisoning during the summer seasons.
And they're not very good tastewise. I don't know how you say it in english, but in France we say they're "milky" (laiteuses) cause of the colour / texture theu take at this period of the year. But you can smoke them on the side of a BBQ fueled by vine branches.
Right we wait until the month ends in r lol eastern shore here
That’s why we only do Maine/PEI oysters.
Hard no to Gulf oysters, anytime of year (thanks BP)
@@buttmuffins4178 Same goes for Washington State oysters. Willapa Bay (and the rest) are safe all year round.
@@jarrettannis5266 Same thing we do with Rabbit hunting because of tularemia. Months that end in R and after a good hard freeze.

Sonny, I loved your channel, the educational aspect of it.
Love to see you made it to RVA! We would send you to Rappahannock for oysters. Boathouse is known more for its beautiful views than delicious food.
The richmond food scene is actually really great! Please come back and i will show you way more interesting and awesome food!
I always make my parents go to Rappahannock every time I visit! Do you recommend any other seafood spot? (They actually opened a spot in charleston Sc now too)
@a1uffy if you want scandavian seafood at alewife. seafood palace in Petersburg for fried fish. Fighting fish fir sushi and bomb ass miso. Bookbinders for a pricey surf and turf.
Laotian here 🙋🏻♀️. I want to know what brand the Laotian sauce is, Sunny! And where/how I can get a hold of a bottle. 🙏🏼
put me on that list....i'll buy it also
Probably Jergens or Aveeno
Im half lao
@@spankydoodlegaming6971 lolz
Hi! If you're referring to the bottle shown @5:50, it resembles a lot like the one on Vatsana's website (Vatsana's Citrus Hot Sauce)! An authentic Laotian sauce that pairs well with tons of dishes! The company is owned by a Laotian as well so you know it'll be authentic! 😁
I've been waiting for you to come to Virginia for a long time. Thank you for showing off my state
I love your videos buddy but remember you are from Minnesota and we have more than Red Lobster if you go out and catch yourself some walleye or some perch or some crappies you can make some amazing things❤
I love them, lemon and a touch of Tabasco sauce, yum yum!! Thanks Sonny. 💙💙🙏🙏
You need to try them with champagne mignonette and horseradish.
Add chopped up shallots & wine! I have eaten a dozen of them every month for the last 20 years. Still alive!
@@1bhaihay Bless you will try. Have a lovely day. 🙏🙏💙💙
@@1bhaihay Hey red or white?
@@jacquibradley1598White or sparkling. Best white wine to pair with oysters is viognier.
I'm going to speak for myself (I assume others feel the exact same way)...some of the food you experience makes my stomach turn. I have, however, had raw oysters on the half shell (I was pretty intoxicated). But those oysters that were simmered in their own shell with the various butters...that is now on my list of things to try.
Raw oysters are as good as they are fresh. If you're near the water they came from, pretty good bet they'll be delicious. If you're landlocked, stay the heck away
I absolutely love this series. I hope you guys are gonna do the west coast as well.
5:12 "Show the other oysters what's up." 😂
We are so far inland that these are rarely available to us in safely fresh form. I've had raw oysters several times, though, and found them absolutely delightful, with or without adding junk on top of them. Raw oysters are NOT, I repeat they are NOT slimy! They are firm and they taste of sea water, extremely delicious. When I lived on the Texas coast there was a small dockside establishment that served "Oyster Burgers". These were fresh-caught, deep-fried oysters on a hamburger bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, and Louisiana hot sauce. I love the Arkansas Ozarks, but there are some things about the sea coast that I sorely miss!
Dude, I am seriously enjoying this series, mostly because I’m in the northeast and am familiar withe the areas you are visiting.
Sonny,
I have been watching your channel for quite some time now. Thank you for the amazing content. As a Thai who lives in Virginia, I am so happy you came here!!!! I love food, and I love your channel.
Just found your channel. Lovin' it!
I knew you were from MN when you said "oofda". I'm a MN born & raised refugee from winter. Now in N CA. There's a favorite oyster place on Bodega Bay due west of here. check it out?
Blessings,

Appalachicola, FL, used to have some of the best oysters in the world. But, thanks to Atlanta's irresponsible water management, we're dead, now. Thanx, ATL. Dicks...
I have no idea what that's about mind explaining?
Appalachicola, FL is closed and will reopen soon, Alt had nothing to do with it, it was just over fished (oysters). Population is coming back and is being managed responsibly, I know people that work on that area
Atlanta is a couple hundred miles inland, don't get the connection
Love and hate from Canada, our oysters are great
the cut scenes at the end make for a nicer finish than usual. 🙂
Good morning from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Pura Vida ❤❤😊😊
Of all the ways of cooking oysters, fried is my personally favorite; especially when it’s the “Whole shebang” Cajun style.
All this amazing content is gold I tell ya!!
Oysters and champage.. a long way from reviewing cheese toasties! Love oysters and loving your content even more! Though would have been more impressed if you had jumped out from the water or from inside an oyster shell in your intro! Ha!
Scallop is my fav, but I love oysters too. I like eating em raw with soy sauce & sesame oil. But I don't eat them raw during Summer.
Ooh, soy and sesame, I’ll have to try that! I’m usually a lemon-and-horseradish guy but that sounds delicious. Maybe I’ll add ginger, too.
Us Lao and other South East Asian people call that crack sauce! Dab some rare steak slices in that sauce. Sap lai lai! (It's very tasty!)
Yesss sap sap!
asian
Does it have crack?
So you name your sauce then most negative word. Nice! Guess you need you learn more.
@@knappsta393 If you don't have a sense of humor, I can see how you'd be sensitive about it. Also, if you think crack is "the most negative word". You have been very sheltered with your entitled opinion. 😂
AYYY RICHMOND REPRESENTING! I was just at the boathouse for Valentine’s Day haha
One of my favorite videos in your entire collection!
I've always had a gag reflex when eating oysters. While I won't be actively seeking them out, this video makes me want to give it a try again.
I'm a fan of roasted oysters
I'm 100% in the same boat
Relaxing the back of your throat and focusing on something else helps.
@@Baker.Matthew that’s what she said
I'm waiting for your video in Cambodia, please. Sonny.
Cool to see how its done on the East Coast. From Louisiana on the Mississippi Delta where the oysters are awesome as well, but the best i ever had raw came from up north.
Best cooked ones iv had where in New Orleans. Best raw, vancover island BC canada(where I live) and The queen Charlotte Islands. Cold, clean water.
Clams are so underrated. I think Warasaw in poland uses clams to determine water quality from a river to see if its safe since when clams detect something bad in the water they close shut
Many places do. Clams or mussels.
The shade 5:03 to Canadians was felt across the screen. 😂
American arrogance permiates everything. They cannot appreciate how truly unique and good Canadians are.
All I know about Canada is Vancouver west coast. Toronto east coast. That's about it 😂
I have had vibrio two times because I'm a commercial oysterman. Once the water temperature of reads is 70°you have to handle everything alright. The bacteria off of their shell got in my eye and almost lost my eye because of it.
Wow its that crazy...so interesting
if people would just cook the oysters, then nobody would have to worry about getting sick...
@-jank-willson They are better Raw!
@@jonmacdonald5345 Im allergic so havnt tried them but everyone always says they are so much better raw, but the thing I notice is people slurp them and dont even really chew and usually has a ton of sauces etc on them so if they are so good why not actually eat them instead of the quick slurp to get them down quick? and so much sauces that how in the world are you tasting anything? I'm not trying to be confrontational or anything as it really doesnt affect me at all, but Ive always been curious.
Time to wear eye ware protection
I cultivated pacific oysters in Mexico, they had a good flavour, because of the area with no rain, so no fresh water or mud, From 3 mm seed, to selling size, took 7 months for the first ones to be harvested, and all of the batch was to size in one year.
One of my relatives is friends with the owner of an oyster farm in Virginia, and when he ordered 25 oysters to bring for Thanksgiving, he received a large iced box with 100! We had to shuck them for 8 adults and none of the kids wanted any. I know we the three shuckers ate at least two dozen each and learned our limit. I like them with freshly squeezed lemon and champagne vinegar mignonette with shallots, horseradish, and black pepper.
Omg! That sounds like a delicious combo on oysters - I'll have to try that out! If you love trying different combos, look up this hot sauce company called, Vatsana's! They have an authentic Laotian seafood sauce (Vatsana's Citrus Hot Sauce) that also pairs well with oysters - any dishes really! Yum!
Welcome to VA, Sonny!!! ❤ I hope y'all enjoy it here. 😊😊
Ouch about the Canadian oysters BTW eh 😂 🍁 😂❤
7:29.who can tell me? What kind of sauce?3 colour
hey! my hometown of eureka does oyster fest! you should check it out! in northern california the Lost coast its georgeous here
Washingtonian living in Vietnam. Oysters here are no match to the delicious oysters in the state. I got sick many times so I quit eating oysters here.
Bc spot prawns as well
aside from getting sick, how'd it taste though?
I'l say it once, and I'll say it for ever, LARGE OYSTERS ARE NOT ALWAYS BETTER:
It is my favorite since i was young i really ate it fresh right away every time i went on the ocean a rocky wide shore in my province of Leyte at Philippines,i like to went on the shore to pick some different shells and one of it is the Oyster but at my young age i dont know the name & we had own language which is we called it “tikod tikod” i love to remove it from the rock because its hardly stick on.❤❤❤
Just bookmarked you all.. live in Alexandria VA. Can't wait to order. or pick up in person!!
It’s the best.
As an oyster farmer in Texas, it’s great to see coverage of oyster mariculture!!
Didn't know they were grown in Texas.
I ate a 25 lb box of raw oysters from Texas. Almost finished the whole box.
2:18 baby oysters look like random seashells, there most definitely have been times I’ve found baby oysters and am just now realizing so
Virginia is currently the largest producer of oysters in the United States, but all oyster sales annually only make up ~5% of our $1.1B seafood market (~$60m in oyster sales annaully). Oysters are quite common here in Virginia, but in reality they account for very little of our economy (There's ~134 Oyster farms inside virginia as of January 2024). The entire agricultural industry in Virginia has an economic impact of $82.3B meaning Oysters account for 0.073% of the annual agricultural value.
Lost in your stats... Happy National Ag Month, btw.
The Hatchery food truck looks amazing.
I may need to make a trip to Chesapeake bay. 🤤
From INDIA 🇮🇳
Hai Sonny
So awesome to see you in Virginia!
Living in va and not far from the water. I really need to go to a lot of good oyster places this spring n summer after seeing this.
Thanks for visiting Virginia! There is a seafood culture here that most people don’t realize. We have “going down the rivah “ instead of “going down the shore”. Crabs and oysters from the bay and lower rivers are outstanding. BF and myself are in northern Virginia outside DC, but make it a point to rent a rivah house in the necks every fall during oyster season.
Let’s go! Shoutout Virginia oysters
The dood at 12:27 had me crying.
Why your reaction so extra! Lolol
He's mimicking Mark Wiens. Just some humor for the audience. 😂
Sonny omg I am so thrilled to see new videos your my absolute favorite artist I say artist because your more than a utuber your hilarious smart interesting talented keep it coming love you ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😅 %100 in Philly shellby
If you eat nasty texas oysters you are playing russian roulette with your life- always ask where they come from
Virginia oysters may be plentiful but they're not great. Get yourself out to cape cod and try a Wellfleet oyster. It will set a standard you'll never top.
Hi! If anyone is looking for the Laotian fish sauce referred @5:50, then look up this hot sauce company, Vatsana's! "Vatsana's Citrus Hot Sauce" very identical to Jeow Som.
The bottle used in the video resembles a lot like the products found on their website. . . The owner is Laotian so you're definitely getting an authentic sauce. Their bottle also pairs well with tons of other dishes! 😋
I actually have these guys opened on my browser waiting for the right time to order from them! Thats crazy you made a video of them!
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
😄🤩
The comparison between choking deaths to oyster deaths is dumb and misleading. Everyone have a risk of choking everytime they eat, but a very small percentage of people even tries oysters on a lifetime. You are FAR more likely to die from oyster poisoning than choking IF you try oysters. It's as stupid as saying choking is more dangerous than russian roulette because theres more choking deaths.
Oh shut up
Valid point. A more valid argument would be to know your oyster source and eat them raw in the “r” months
The fact that we get free food&travel videos from Sonny on UA-cam is priceless; keeping the knowledge and entertainment alive. 👍👍👍
🙏🙏🙏
One and only Sonny!
Glidden Point Oysters, Edgecomb, Maine, are the best I've ever eaten in my life (and I grew up on the ocean).
I grew up on seafood, oysters raw and cooked are delish, gotta try pacific and bluff oysters🤤🤤
1:10 'Virginia is the top three largest oyster producer in the country', is a blank sentence, is Virginia 1st, 2nd or 3rd, one wonders!
Sonny! You’re crushing it! This might be the most “pro” production yet. Well done🤙
😂 the shady sauce dealer is hilarious
I went to a oyster farm in outerbanks nc when I was installing Dishnetwork and the man that owned the farm showed me around and pulled me one up from the dock and had the sea water in it also! So salty and nasty I spit it back out lol it was my first time trying one and my last time trying one!! lol
I love oyster, but I'll never forget my first fresh raw one. I recall using the phrase "sandy booger"
Love seeing you enjoy stuff from my backyard pretty much😂

You should try here in new washington aklan...the best oyster philippines
Wow! Seeing how they do it in the east coast is different!
Uggg...ive been craving oysters on the ½ and cajun crawfish for a month....😂
holy shit sonny hated that oyster with the weird looking caviar LOL “let’s wash that down”
Wow amazing from channel "Ellen Glen Kehidupan di Desa" ❤

emphasizing the love of the spice /j
I used to love eating oysters when they were cheap. I remember getting them for about $0.80 AUD an oyster with toppings at the markets. Was awesome. Then the industry had issues with disease with the hatcheries and the price has doubled and trippled. Hopefully the price goes down and I can enjoy some.
My favorite is the cluster oyster from North Carolina. Those look similar except they aren't in clusters. Possibly because of the way they are grown.
Yall are using the hell out of that one guy's yum face lol
Wow never thought I’d see you in RVA hope you had a time
I've eaten thousands of oysters and have never died obviously lolz. My favorite shelfish/seafood. Although I usually eat them grilled or steamed 90% of the time; it's my preferred method of preparation & arguably the best form of preparation along with lime, tapatio, & salt. Usually when I get it raw it's from a Mexican restaurant where I prefer it topped ceviche style. When that's not possible & I got a craving I eat it straight raw w/lime, hot sauce, & salt.
It’s a good look!!! Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Do these oysters not get put through a cleaning process to lessen the chances of bacterial issues? Oysters are grown also in Scotland but commercials ones are put through a system where they are put in some kind of saline baths for a couple of days to cleanse them of any bacteria/toxins.
16:44 Bro where'd you get that cake from?
I grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Oyster rockefeller is the schissunizzle. We would go to shore drive to catch crabs from the shore. All you needed was fishing line with chicken tied to the end and a net to scoop them up. Good times!!!
13:54 I didn't realize julien solomita had a side gig in Richmond
As an oyster freak who has eaten them just about everywhere in the world. I rate Chesapeake oysters about a 6/7. Gillardeau from France and the Quilecene and Olympia both from Puget Sound in Washington are tops on my list.
Bet you haven't tried Bluff oysters from the bottom of the south island in NZ.
The quality and size has diminished over the years sadly. But they were some of the world's best imo.
