Oysters alive when you eat them?

Hi, just wondering if oysters are still alive when you eat them. Raw
oysters I'm talking about.

Since it's not a good idea to eat raw oysters if they are dead, yeah,
they're pretty much alive. Of course, you have to remember that since
you just ripped them, body and soul, from their shell, their lifelong
home, in an agonizingly painful manner, they are most likely in their
death throes just as you are popping them into your mouth to crush out
the last remaining life they have on this Earth. Enjoy! 😉

I love raw oysters with a dab of hot sauce but hate the screams you hear
when you crush them. YMMV

Raw carrots are alive also. Plant one and it will grow. I'm not sure
which is dumber, oysters or carrots.

Shucking an oyster involves severing the muscle that holds the body to the
shell. That doesn't kill them right away and more than cutting off a fish's
dorsal fin would kill the fish.

alive and raw."

Lots of people get a bit of a lift from eating raw oysters. I find them to
be like a tonic that gives and instant invigoration. BTW.... don't chew.
Just sprinkle a little lemon juice and/or Tabasco and slip it down your
gullet.

If you don't hear them screaming when you rip their shells apart....

Yes, but they're sleeping. They won't feel a thing.
They'll be dreaming their oyster-dreams right up
until you eat them. Just don't wake'em up. :-)

Exactly. Sucking an oyster just severs the abductor muscle, freeing the
creature from its shell. It doesn't kill it.

Of course. Littleneck clams, too.

Haven't you seen them quiver and heard them scream when you squirt lemon
juice on them?

After NOTBOB'S description of eating oysters. I'm glad I'm not a big
fan....only had them twice, in N'Orleans and Canada....think those were
called Manapek Bay oysters....it was so long ago. Am I right?
Have a splendid weekend,
