I’m good with 8 day old oysters. Properly refrigerated and handled they last up to 2 weeks, much longer than beef, pork, or chicken.

I will slurp that juice down. Oysters are alive until shucked and if they give up a fight they’re good.
This was was liquor that was somehow in excess of what I gulped with the first thirty oysters. Not sure how that happened, but I think I saved it if I thought it might spill, when shucking. What would make oyster liquor extra sketchy? Does it harbor germs or parasites or a new covid or something?

Oysters! Free shipping for Labor day from TWO sources! Fifty today, two dozen next month ( I hope! Grassy Bar from Giovanni’s Fish Market on October 1st). These are Row 34 from Island Creek, bowls down on ice packs at 40 degrees F. I’ll cover with a wet towel or another ice pack. They say I have about 5 days.

Day 10 and I just ate some of the last dozen or so, and they are still clinging to life more than I am.
These were from last Sunday; a week ago.
These were from today.

This time just “Pacific” and “Pacific Gold”. Not sure what that means. I think gold are bigger.
Won’t be hard to dispense with 2 dozen, but additional suggestions welcome.
And mingonette?

I wouldn’t eat an oyster that doesn’t move!
Here are two of my Favs…

But prefer it with fettuccine like I used to get at Orleans.
Just 3 dozen this time, from a place in SF that offers me “local delivery” for just $15.00!
Arrived in net bags with tags; one of three dozen dead. I haven’t eaten them yet because I am not supposed to be using my left arm for "repetitive motions ".

1/3 of them dead? I’d be pissed. What happened?
Gotta brag here about the oysters I got in Charleston at a fish market in late November. We got a bucketful for $45 - turned out to be about 3.5 dozen, all alive and kicking. It was a crash course in shucking for my surgeon brother in law!

No; 1 out of three dozen. One of thirty six.
Did your BIL shuck all of those oysters? Beautiful!
