About Mollusks, oyster, Pacific, cooked, moist heat
The Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), also called the Japanese or Miyagi oyster, is the most widely farmed oyster in the world, a saltwater shellfish enjoyed as a delicacy for thousands of years. Inside its rough, fluted gray shell sits plump, silky meat with a briny, sweet, distinctly oceanic flavor that shifts with the waters where it grows. Oysters are remarkably nutritious and low in calories, famously one of the richest natural sources of zinc, along with high-quality protein, iron, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids.
They are eaten raw on the half shell with a squeeze of lemon, as well as grilled, baked, fried, smoked, or simmered into stews and chowders. Freshness is everything: choose oysters with tightly closed, unbroken shells that smell clean and briny, keep them cold with the cupped side down, and eat them as soon as possible.
