About Raw oysters

Raw oysters are a delicacy enjoyed worldwide, often associated with coastal cuisines like French, American, and Japanese. These mollusks are typically served fresh on the half shell, paired with lemon, mignonette, or cocktail sauce. Nutritionally, raw oysters are an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals such as zinc, iron, and copper. They are low in calories, making them a great option for weight-conscious individuals, and their high zinc content supports immune health and healthy skin. However, consuming raw oysters carries a risk of foodborne illness due to potential bacterial contamination, especially for individuals with weakened immune systems or certain medical conditions. Always ensure they are sourced from reputable suppliers to minimize this risk. With their unique briny flavor and notable nutrient profile, raw oysters are both a treat and a wholesome addition to a balanced diet when consumed responsibly.
