we can get Chesapeake Bay shucked oysters “fresh” in pint jars - “select” size - about 20-22 per pint. raw, not cooked, not sterilized, not pasteurized . . .
being perishable with a relatively short shelf life, I suspect not too many mega-markets carry such a product.
any fish mongers in the area?
there are canned oysters - never touched a can or used one, so no clue as to how ‘good’ they are.
any raw bars in the area? or restos that ‘specialize’ in such?
perhaps a little smoozing may reveal a local source that is buying/shipping in fresh oysters in bulk and may part with some…?
