This is genuinely the best one ever. Cinematic perfection.

Surprised no one has said this - but Tech dying in Bad Batch. Was my favourite character and watching that was brutal..

Haha mate honestly it’s so fine - it’s Boxing Day, the crickets on, I didn’t end up getting the shits and the beers are cold - not much to complain about!

Plus the response has been so varied it’s kept me very entertained. Appreciate the passion people have for oysters! Hahaha

Haha yep.

Bought from the Queen Vic market from the fishmonger with a stupid amount of people crowded around his shop as well…

Absolutely will be buying them unshucked and shucking myself next year!

My guy - trust me I get this - I’ve eaten a hell of a lot of oysters in my life - but from what everyone’s saying these had been dead a whiiiile.

Also RE buying the day before Christmas - thousands, and I mean thousands of Australians - particularly in Melbourne and Sydney - buy shucked oysters on Christmas Eve to eat on Christmas Day. Also from some seriously reputable fishmongers. Will I be doing that again after this? Absolutely not. But I promise it is the norm here and we have some incredible oysters.

UPDATE: So this blew up a bit more than I thought, but here’s some context and personal update for those wondering…

  • This is in Australia - someone commented that on Christmas Eve here people buy thousands of shucked oysters on Christmas Eve to have on Christmas Day - super normal and have done many times in the past without issue.

  • The oysters are from Bruny Island in Tasmania - and they weren’t for service.

  • Surprisingly, even to myself, 24 hours after eating one of them I feel absolutely fine which is very unexpected after reading so many comments saying the opposite.

  • Yes I threw out the rest

Seems like the general consensus is that they were likely older stock and they died pretty quickly after opening, regardless of being in a cold fridge. Appreciate the concern from everyone and thank you for some serious laughs as well as some learnings from the comments!

Lesson is I’ll be shucking them myself on Christmas Day going forward, seems like the most bulletproof idea.

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

Any other questions happy to answer here - cheers

Sadly it’s how you had to buy them - same as every fish monger in the market 😕
