Wife wanted Panna Cotta to go with the beetroot Jam I made a couple weeks ago.

Still setting in fridge. Taste report tomorrow.

I'll take a better pic when I top it with the beet jam. Prob some lime zest and a couple grains of salt to tie it together. Don't have koshering salt else it would've been perfect for this

[eliteauto]

very nice, I also enjoy making panna cotta, whatever I have a lot of in the yard I use as a topping, the pic is with a sorrel reduction, I've also used five finger and most times it's passion fruit

[shogun]

i had a giant oyster by Bodow manzanilla
thought the poo bag woulda be bigger and tasteable but was not
so maybe the crabs are similar

Oysters are a real delicacy, especially how we do it locally with the seasoning and sauce. This I would put on my top 10 list. You should try it at least once. Its not so much of a taste thing but more a texture thing.

I had some last year by the Oyster man in Tacarigua and almost died from a viral infection... I have now decided to abstain. But at least I have the memories.

I used to eat oysters quite a bit like once a fortnight. Then about 10 years ago I did a liver function test and some enzyme was higher than normal (I can't remember what specifically). The doctor said this could be as a result of eating oysters. I stopped eating and went on some meds and sure enough the LFT results were good.

So, I thought to start back but then I read on the newspaper that public health inspector did some random samples of oyster vendors and found that a couple of them, including one in Gasparillo, had traces of Hepatitis B. After that I just stopped altogether.

The other day, I stopped to get fish by Bodow and some guys were eating oysters. My mouth watered. I must admit, his preparation was quite clean compared to others I have seen... I was thinking about sampling somewhere, but after reading about your experience there about the oyster in Tacarigua, I think I'll hold off.

Out of curiosity, where is considered safe to eat, or more importantly, how does one know whether an oyster is safe to eat? What to look for to tell what's good or not?

Had oysters.. Nearly died.. Never again

Oysters are indeed a risk to eat for a few reasons

1 - where they are harvested, in the 80's the ministry used to put out warnings about cholera because the swamps behind beetham and consequently towards blue river and the caroni swamp were deemed to be suspect
2 - the handling, most oyster men obtain from another guy who goes in the mangrove and collects, they oysters are usually kept in pigtail buckets and could very well be a day or two old by the time you eat them. Dunno if the oyster men keeping them on ice at home.
3 - the actual handling and prep could be dodgy, my father always used to warn us about them oyster men when we would drive around the savannah, "look how them selling thing with no running water"
and it is quite possible to have a dead oyster days old mixed in the bowl with the rest of them, especially since the oysters are usually small.

When opening oysters one should really check them to make sure they are alive and smell them. I have read this in many places and in cooking books. Dead oysters are supposedly very easy to open too.

The better way to eat oysters really is straight from the shell with minimal sauce and the natural sheel juice, the way we do with a whole cup of sauce kinda messes up the natural briny taste.

I'm not vouching for Bodow but he gets giant oysters from nearby and they are just harvested, whilst there I saw the guys walking in with bags of them. I would guess your chances of a dead spoilt one easier to spot with a big oyster.

Couple years ago in Montreal I went to an oyster bar and had a sample platter of 6 different types from all over Canada
there were big differences in the tastes, some sweet, some horrible.

btw the story with the Giant African snails is that an Italian expat living in Alyce Glen was keeping them for his consumption and they got away.

you will know, shell will open with not much resistance or you may find it open leaking, or just open and dried up.

The real threat is when its almost dead, between opening and sale is when the rotting process starts and the bacterial growth can start quickly.

i wont chance that with local oysters.

if you open them yourself, you will actually find dirt in the shell.

American oysters are farmed in baskets in flowing, moving water, so their shells are clean and the fluids inside same way.
Our local wild harvsted oysters are covered with silt and mud most times which by itself is a home for all sorts of micro-flora.

i does feel bad to throw away the "brine" but i wont risk it.

I does even remove the "poo" from big oysters just to play it safe, and i dont drink from roadside vendors. I will buy the oysters from them and sort it at home.

Kronik, you hadda make a lime and invite some tuners to eat boy (when this pandemic situation ease up ofc).
