Following is a transcript of the video:
Raw oysters are either still alive - or freshly killed - when you eat them. Most people think keeping them alive longer makes them safer to eat, but that's not the full story. Oyster expert Julie Qiu explains.
Following is the transcript of the video.
David Anderson: "Wanna know a secret? This oyster I'm about to eat could still be alive! So, why do we do this?"
Most people think it's a food safety issue. Keep the oyster alive as long as possible, to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination. And there is a little bit of truth to that. Oysters can carry a scary flesh-eating bacteria called vibrio vulnificus. You can get it from oysters or from swimming in warm brackish water. But let's put that into perspective.
Julie Qiu: "The risk of running into a bad oyster is lower than people think it is. My biggest pet peeve is that people go crazy over one bad oyster but they don't really care that hundreds of thousands of pounds of lettuce are contaminated with salmonella"
About 100 people die from vibrio infections (including from vibrio vulnificus) each year, about 450 die from salmonella. Plus, the FDA requires that oyster farms have to test water quality before sending oysters out to markets and restaurants. And that's important, because oysters are filter feeders. They soak up basically anything that's in the water around them - including fecal matter which can come from rain runoff.
But there’s a clever way to check if your oysters are good.
Julie Qiu: "one thing that you can ask for is a shellfish tag, which every retailer or restaurant is required to have for every bag of oysters that they purchase for up to 90 days after they make that purchase. So that tag, if they don't have it, don't eat those oysters."
This tag is a way for restaurants to track where and when their oysters were farmed. Qiu says that she looks for the most recent dates on the tag. Anything further out than two weeks won't taste as good and increases the risk of a bad oyster.
Some chefs may look at you funny for asking for the documentation, but it's a strategy that apparently works.
Julie Qiu: "I've had thousands of oysters and never had a bad one"
Ok great, so basically, oysters are safe, why on earth are they sometimes alive when we eat them??
Julie Qiu: "You really want your raw shellfish to be really fresh and the freshest you can get is something that is recently killed, so it goes back to not only the food safety but the actual taste and texture is going to be far superior when it's a fresh oyster."
So yeah, freshly killed oysters taste better. And it's hard to tell exactly when an oyster dies, because before it's served, it's shucked. It's not a gentle process. Shucking involves separating the oyster’s abductor muscle from the shell. This muscle gives the oyster control over opening and closing its shell. Similar to how your spinal cord helps you move. So, severing the their abductor muscle is almost like severing your spine. Yikes.
Most restaurants in the US keep their oysters alive - on ice - up until this shucking process, which afterwards, either leaves the oyster dead, or immobile. Since they don’t move around much in the first place, it's not easy to tell which.
So you're eating an oyster that was either just killed or is dying. And that seems pretty cruel, right? But considering that the oyster's biology is very primitive, it's possible they might not even feel pain at all.
Julie Qiu: "They don't have a brain, they're not really processing pain the same way the same way we are feeling so I don't think they're feeling pain the same way we are thinking of it."
So really, it's up to you. If you don't want to eat oysters, that's fine. If you do, you'll be far from the first.
Julie Qiu: "It's one of the few foods that have not changed for thousands and thousands of years so being able to appreciate that is something that's really special and remarkable and something that should be celebrated for what it is."
One day, oysters are gonna rise up and rip our spines out
I wouldn't mind if I tasted that good. I'm pretty sure I'm a filter feeder, too, but I feel like I would be worth maybe like one one-thousandth my weight in oysters.
One day my ass, they are gonna have to wait a while till they can even get to our size, possibly a few million years.
They're going to fry our skins

I don’t even like oysters why am i here

Exactly 💀
Same, i love many shellfish except oysters and a few more.
Yet, we met here
I dont even like seafood yet here iam
Agree Genie, it is not for me.
“More people die from salmonella than vibrio each year” I’m pretty sure lettuce is also eaten more often and by more people than oysters.
I neveer eat a oyster and i lovee seafod fish even salmon here soo expensive have notion a lbs is 20$$ in dolars i lice in south americaa
Goat meat never tried too some japanese foids just temaki and sushi love both soo much its like a year since dont eat japanese temaki or sushi if had more money would eat at least once a week all this rich celebrity foods i cant buy even is normal and regular people eat on usaa europe im from brazil poor country that 60% population is poor or miserable even brazil is 10th econimic COUNTRY on world just fakee phrase to world see but here 60% population are poor imagine is like 100 million poor people??

@@guiilost9827 The U.S appears to be a rich country, but the division between rich and poor is great. Most immigrants have it very tough(immigrants with a lot of money have it fine) and depending on where they come from face a lot of prejudice.
I think that’s the point though. Since lettuce and eggs are staples in most of our diets, we’re probably more likely to get infected by salmonella then we would if we were to eat an oyster once in a while. I even know of a friend recently who got food poisoning from chicken. Salmonella infections can be common and dangerous.
@@crystala7x182 The likelihood of food poisoning from lettuce vs. raw oysters, as well as the deadliness of the illnesses themselves should be taken into account.

So the answer is: something that is freshly killed tastes better than something old? Really. I had no idea.
I sense your sarcasm but freshly killed red meat, such as beef, venison and buffalo are way more flavorful and tender if they are aged in a cooler for 2 week.
Only seafood
@Nick Talleyrand ;)
@@valholladay2116 That's because modern supply chain typically cannot deliver the meet before rigor mortis, which happens only a few hours after death. Red meat that was literally just killed taste pretty good too.

Go to proper establishments if you're gonna eat oysters raw, not some hole in the wall.

Scientific approach really needs scientific facts... Abductor muscle is just a muscle and it's not like cutting a spine (skeletal part + spinal cord which is a part of the central nervous system) where if you cut spine in half you kill a person for damaging the spinal cord. When you open clams you just scrape the muscles and not even cut them, that's like giving a wound to yourself = you won't die. So the process of opening is not so deadly as this video portrays it. And also the absence of brain (organ present in chordates) doesn't mean the absence of nervous system! That means that they don't process pain like we do but doesn't mean they can't "feel" anything, brain or ganglium (organ that they have) have the same purpose! I'm not here trying to raise awareness of not eating clams, for what I'm concerned have at it, but wanted to point out the faults in scientific information present in a video of channel that has Science in it.
Well said. Also I did a quick google on this "Oyster Expert" and found out that she is just a blogger and a self proclaimed expert on this topic without any scientific background whatsoever. "Food that remained unchanged for thousands of years should be celebrated.", is a really bad excuse for eating something that IS ALIVE and has a working nervous system but that's just my opinion of course.
@@balthasarrasahtlab8872 Nice Nancy Drewing! I was a bit taken with lack of facts so I did't even think about googling her. Sad that people use term "scientific" so loosely and widely nowdays...
The fact that at least 3.5k people care more about the comment "I've never had a oyster in my life", over actual facts is the reason why we can't stop global warming.
Even if they did have the specific kind of nerves to feel pain, they can't suffer, there's no emotional component to the pain. As an analogy this can happen in humans with certain disorders or brain damage to certain parts of the brain. They can recognize that they're in pain but it's not distressing to them i.e it's just a recognition of sensory information.
+the Whaler
You understand that the same claim could be made by aliens about us?
"Other than some grotesque gestures with the muscles near their eyes, and a weird sonic vibration from the esophagus chord, which probably signifies the species last grasp for nutrients, or provides a primitive alert for others, the fatally probed human specimens seem to recognize the pain, but clearly don't go through much distress. This is probably because they don't have two central nervous systems, but just one, and even if they did have the specific kind of nerves to feel the pain, rest assured it's nothing like we can feel, because when we feel pain it's soooo painful, yesterday I pinched my brachemio pod between my pincers, and I was in soo much pain. Oh. My. God. Anyways, we should celebrate that our food source didn't evolve into something that could give us any moral dilemmas. Fuyerasdkje, how many I had of them so far? Six, like, seven thousands? Yep, so, clearly nothing's going on, whether alive or dead, it's all the same to them, as soon as you cut them up, just ignore the stupid sounds they make, and you're fine. I mean it's just a noise, and not like telepathy, so it has nothing to do with them feeling hurt, as they can't suffer and science is unanimous in that they have no radioemotional capacity. Really, really, primitive animals. *Slurp* But so tasty."
I mean, do you people even listen to yourselves?
I love oysters and this made me feel so much better. I bought the most beautiful biggest oysters and it’s my first time basically. I was freaking out I cooked them at 450 for 10 minutes and then at 480 for like maybe 5 minutes hella scared me

As a chef by trade, I’ve been shucking oysters and clams for years. As long as the blade doesn’t pierce the belly of the bivalve it’s definitely still alive when it hits your stomach. Also shucking isn’t a violent task once you get the hang of it
Why do people eat these raw and not cooked? Almost all other shellfish is cooked.
@WALTERBROADDUS Flavor and texture, FYI Conch and clams are consumed raw as well.
@@gwendolynallen3218 as far as I know, you don't even chew these things? And people cover them in hot sauce to make them palatable?
@WALTERBROADDUS I live in Louisiana and I prefer my oysters chargrilled with butter and herbs on it. Not a fan of the raw variety. Fried ones are pretty good too.

Eating them alive is the best way to eat them. They are really good with lime, salt, & Lea & Perrins sauce.
I am quite curious as I have never tasted once. What does an oyster tastes like?????
In my country people eat a different kind of oyster which isn't shucked. They're just forced open and when they're served to you they are very much still alive. They come with lemon wedges, and when they squeeze the lemon onto the oysters, they make a weird noise and close back up slightly. It's a bit more involved than those oysters in the video.
those cells at 0:40 were paramecia and not vibrio.
paramecia live in ponds, aquariums, vases and sometimes even even in fresh water from the tap and are totally harmless.
the paramecium is a single celled microorganism that moves with 10000 little hairs (called cilia) on its outside, and has a cell mouth, two contractile vacuoles, a macronucleus, a micronucleus, food vacuoles and other organells. most paramecia eat mostly funghi, bacteria and yeast, but they will also eat whatever gets sucked into ther cell mouth.

Fresh raw oysters with lemon juice is the best

Fun Fact: Pea crabs are an oyster parasite. Since you don’t cook them, those can *also* still be alive when eating an oyster.
I experienced this first hand. Didn’t really wanna eat it as i don’t like them that much, pokes the oysters belly and a small semi-see thru red ball popped out. I was like “huh..?” anddd then it’s legs unfolded and it started moving.
Never eating oysters again.
free crab with your oysters sounds like a plus
i googled pea crabs - mere presence of it inside the oyster is a good sign that your oyster was in quality water.
also they can be eaten as well.
Gently tickle the black rim of the oyster with the end of your knife. If it recedes, the oyster is still fresh and you can gulp down that SOB. If it doesn't, don't eat it and ask for a refund because the oyster probably didn't make it through unsafe food transportation. Also try to eat them as close as possible to their harvest site. Also avoid May to August since they end up "milky" and you're eating a lot of roe and not much oyster (some like it though)... And keep it simple: a touch vinegar and a pinch of minced schallot. Don't drown it under sauce to preserve that unique salty taste!
God I love oysters...
I used to work on an oyster farm here in Maine. We went out on a brackish river in the winter on a raft and farmed them. My boss would dive to the bottom of the freezing river and pick them off the sea floor by hand. We'd haul them up onto the boat in a bag he filled underwater, and then sort them out. All my mates ate the oysters raw right out of the river. Not a one of them got sick. Get your oysters from Maine, they're the best you can get. Also, oysters are barely alive when running at full steam. All they do is filter water. Not a very cute or personable animal. They're easily mistaken for rocks because that's about what they do in a lifespan, sit around.
Sounds like a whole bunch of Trump supporters watching tv.
Isn't that hunting not farming? Also they aren't barely alive, they are just alive.
There is a simple solution against bacteria... just cook it...

I hate the argument that an animal can’t feel pain. Its “version” of pain is still pain however you want to define it. Oysters and clams still have nerves, and nerves process sensations including what their version of pain is.

Temporium teh fricking legnd Oysters Rockefeller is the only way I’ve had them. They’re usually cooked over an open flame, still in the shell. The way I had it, they added a garlic butter and a Parmesan bread crumb topping while it cooks. Raw Oysters don’t appeal to me as the texture is too off-putting
Taste is same. Only texture is different. Cooked is a bit more rubbery or chewy and raw is a bit more slimy and soft.
Best food texture comparison I can think of would be it's like sunny-side up egg vs an omelette.

Coat the oyster in batter mix and deep fry...garnish with a slice of lemon and tomato & feta cheese salad...
The pain experienced by an oyster may very well be simplified, but it stands to reason that an oyster experiencing this could still consider the sensation intense. In fact, one could argue that this means pain has less of a gradient, and a single small injury may feel like the worst pain imaginable.
Can an oyster even comprehend pain as a feeling?
@@AGuy-vq9qpI don't imagine it would aid in its survival so probably not
@@AGuy-vq9qp Difficult to say. It’s not exactly a genius, but what little brain matter it has may be pure instinct. As for what that means, one may not be able to say. It’s only sensations regarding pain may be pure agony. Can’t be too sure what exactly that pain would mean to an oyster. It might be the only thing that means anything. I mean simpler organisms can drop dead from stress, so one can definitely ponder whether a simplified brain makes the stress of pain better or worse.
It’s 3am and I hate seafood, I don’t know why I’m here.
Did she fart at 4:12? Oyster farts... ew.

I've only ever eaten oysters cooked, I'm not really into eating them raw
being an Oyster Expert was a thing?
marine biologist specializing in mollusks ..... boom, there's your answer
But she is none of that. According to her bio, she's a blogger that eats clams all over the world. She has no scientific background whatsoever.
That number comparing Vibrio and Salmonella deaths is ridiculous. Yes, when you put the numbers side by side like that it looks pretty bad, but you're missing pretty big piece of information here.
Namely, the consumption amounts. Quick Google search tells us that around 2 billion oysters are eaten each year. Meanwhile 50 billion chickens are slaughtered for food each year. Not to mention that salmonella can also be found in eggs, of which people eat insane amounts of.
So if Vibrio and Salmonella were equally as common with proportional deaths caused, there should be 2500 Salmonella deaths each year.
Of course, this is not taking into account that one person often eats several oysters in one sitting, and it's common for several people to get meal from a single chicken. But just looking at basic consumption amounts, it's a fact that oysters are more deadly than chickens are.
I have eaten clams, 🦪 since I can remember 6 maybe. Never gotten sick. Even when buying them from a random guy that parked his truck on the side road to sell seafood.
She farted 4:10 😂
The Oyster gets shucked
Oyster: “Aw Shucks!”
