But there aren't any months ending in...

Oh. I see what you did there. :)

Interesting about the blooms, I forgot about them. Nasty.

Probably doesn't apply so much in Japan on the reasons I gave; the south is warm enough to cultivate warm-water species and they probably mostly have Pacific or Rock oysters anyway. On the flip side, possibly warmer waters cause more blooms.

Thank you TalnSG san
 

Thank you TalnSG-san

I checked a bit about oysters

JWord

It mentions about the months with R too.

There are many kinds of oysters and some of them are good to eat in the months no R!

hiya
 

Hello Koir-san,

How about you?
Many Canadian people eat oysters?



May I ask you too Columbine san?
Do you eat oyster often?

**************************
Oh I remember a story about oyster!

A Supermarket sold the raw oysters, but some of the oysters weren't good to eat, so about 10 people who bought and ate them got a baaaad stomachache.
The supermarket was supporsed to report about that to the city health centre, but they didn't want to lose their reputation, so the manager of the supermarket gave 100000yen to the each customer who bought the bad oysters to make them shut up!

Guess what happened after!?

I hope my English was good enough to explain this story...

Not very often. I live inland so they can be hard to buy fresh. They're also quite expensive! I eat mussels more often.

Probably. I don't because I'm allergic to seafood :/

They took the money and reported the supermarket anyway?

Indeed it is. :)

good evening
 

Yes, they are expensive here in Japan too! (for me at least)

My doctor once said I should have had more oysters for my health...but I didn't...

I don't know about mussels much, I will "google japan" it later:)

Thank you and have a nice weekend!



Well... they didn't report... but

later....some of the customers kept buying oysters again, and threatening

the supermarket!!!

What do you think?!

Hm. On a basic level, a constant payday is better than a one-time payout. Still, that isn't a very nice thing for the customers to do.

Oysters have a lot of minerals in them that are hard to get from other things, like zinc (亜鉛) and selenium (セレニウム). They're quite good for you! :)

You can probably only get New Zealand Green Lip mussels in Japan (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ミドリイガイ属). Ours are small and black; more like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ish_market.jpg

and they have a mild, creamy taste. I like to steam them with a little wine and olive oil, and eat them with nothing but some bread. Like sakemushi clams!

Do you like seafood much, yumyum?

Wow, that's mean. On the other hand, the supermarket should have just been honest that it sold bad oysters.
