I can't tell you what they taste like as I have never tried them - they don't look nice, I think they only taste sea-water. I would have said they are small blackish-grey shells with a mussel inside and because they are so easily available in our environments along the west coast, to me they mean nothing. 🙂

So just by looking at it tells you that you wouldn't like the taste? Interesting!

I do that with oysters too. 🙂 Won't try them.

@Very-Rusty said
I have shucked them and eaten them raw! 😉

"Shucking an oyster" means opening the oyster shell to reveal and access the edible meat inside, typically done using a specialized knife and technique.

We actually have shucking competitions to see how one can open the most oysters in a certain amount of time! It is a skill to open those oysters, some people are very good at it, much faster than I am.

You will need a very sharp knife, I would guess.
