About Raw oyster

Raw oysters are a prized delicacy in many coastal cuisines, including French, American, and Japanese culinary traditions. These shellfish are typically enjoyed fresh, often with lemon juice, mignonette sauce, or cocktail sauce, highlighting their naturally briny flavor. Rich in nutrients, raw oysters offer an impressive source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and zinc, making them excellent for supporting immune function, heart health, and energy levels. They are also a natural source of vitamin B12, essential for nerve and brain health. However, consuming raw oysters carries risks, as they may harbor harmful bacteria like Vibrio if improperly handled or sourced from contaminated waters. People with weakened immune systems or certain health conditions should avoid raw shellfish. When sourced responsibly and consumed safely, raw oysters are a nutritious treat with a delectable taste of the sea.
