What Are You Cooking ?

Actually, at least in the US, these things are pretty clean. I live by a commercial oyster farm and get to see what they go through. The water has to be VERY clean and free of pollution for the oysters to be allowed to be harvested and sold. There aren't many places left in the US suitable for oyster (and other shellfish) farming that can pass those tests. The water and the oysters themselves are constantly tested and quite often shut down from harvesting until some temporary pollutant is gone and has worked it's way out of the oysters. Sometimes all it takes is a little rain after a dry spell that creates polluted runoff from cow pastures to shut them down. So if you buy oysters in the store or from any kind of commercial outlet (restaurant, etc) in the US it's a pretty safe bet they didn't come from some polluted backwater swamp.

Now, chicken, beef, or other farm animals pumped full of drugs and hormones all their lives... That's a different story. Seems the government doesn't care about that kind of pollution. The big corporations that produce that kind of food don't seem to be under the same kind of scrutiny.

they have farms here in the lagoon. the best area often stinked before they would harvest the mollusks.
 
Obadiah, the indian river lagoon isn't a swamp. it cant be brackish water is where oyster can grow with the least amount of salinity.fertilisers and cancer. enjoy

but I do wonder if they get their oysters in a store? they likely don't. clams aren't big in stores when the lagoon is to be compared.i could be wrong my wife bought oysters in grant and monica and her shucked them for dinner November of 2006.

I saw something mentioned in a book I read once. It was called "saute of unborn octopus". Does anyone know where I can get a recipe for that? And if you know where I could get the main ingredient, that would also be helpful.

Unborn octopus, people has lost their minds.


The octopus should get nicely charred, but you don't want them to get tough, so when grilling these little guys, less is more

How can you cook those cute little critters?

Before I started eating only kosher, I once tried octopus (or maybe squid, I don't remember which) at an Asian restaurant. It was part of a plate of various kinds of sashimi (raw seafood). It was tough and not really that great. The salmon was the best.
