The best are the smaller ones, from apalachicola... A real treat.

We just had oysters on the halfshell in apalachicola and they were not flavorful. Added extra horseradish to the cocktail sauce and ate em up though!

I think I take a different approach than most. Its not my job to be the tester for the restaurant. It's the kitchen's job to see that they are delivering quality food. In this case it seems they didn't.

Hurricane oyster bar is serving what's available. There little bitty oysters are from appalachicola.
Wake up folks, it's gonna take some time for the oysters to recover. Go to Stinkys, they are big, bad, baked, and mighty good. Give Hurricanes a break, they are selling local and right now, it ain't too good, not their fault.

The oysters I complained earlier about at Hurricane Bar looked absolutely wonderful. Very large and looking absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I do not fault the Hurricane Bar. What many don't seem to accept is that these posts are not critical of the establishment. They are critical of the product.
A word about Stinky's. I don't believe their oysters are any different than those of anybody else. I'll go back there in the Fall, maybe. They have raised their prices for the tourist season and at a disregard for the locals. I understand that but do not need to accept it when others have not done so.

When I want an oyster fix, I go to Dusty's. Usually, they are excellent. Last Saturday they were a little mediocre, lower salt factor etc. But that is the peril one assumes when being an oyster eater. Is there any food product you can name that is best enjoyed in cooler weather, yet still demanded twelve months out of the year? One so vulnerable in taste, size and texture depending on what is going on upstream or down in the gulf? And, if the panhandle oyster bidness is at all like the New Orleans market, a food industry where there are restaurant titans that get the grade A stock by default before the little players get their orders in to the wholesalers? I can't think of one. IT's words were harsh, doubt he meant harm, but accusing the management of 'ripping off' consumers implies a premeditated effort to scam the consumer. Hurricane's is only dealing with what mother nature and the market offers them. If one wants a consistent, never changing product, a Big Mac can be procured coast to coast for a similar price and zero heterogenity-there is a reason for that. God help us all when we start to demand McOyster.

Dusty's? never heard of

I don't even eat oysters, but, by God, my new mantra is: "God help if we all demand McOysters." I know cosmic transcendence when I hear it.
