Who doesn’t LOVE raw oysters?
Well, lots of people. But those who do, REALLY do. In fact, true oyster lovers search out raw bars, happy hour specials and local seafood joints, just to find these delicacies.
Even as far back as prehistoric times, oysters have been consumed for nourishment. Native Americans in coastal South Georgia and the Lowcountry consumed them and then used the shells for enbankments and rituals. Case in point, the well-known Shell Ring on Hilton Head Island.
