About Mollusks, oyster, Pacific, raw
The Pacific oyster is the large, deeply-cupped oyster farmed across much of the world, and it is generally plumper and milder than the Eastern (Atlantic) kind. Like all oysters, it is a filter-feeding bivalve whose flavor reflects the water it grows in — a quality the French call merroir — ranging from sweet and creamy to sharply briny.
Oysters are a genuine nutritional standout. This raw Pacific oyster has about 81 calories per 100 grams with a modest amount of protein and a little fat, but its real claim to fame is minerals: oysters are among the very richest natural sources of zinc, and they also deliver vitamin B12, copper, iron and selenium in concentrations few foods can match.
Oysters are traditionally eaten raw on the half shell with nothing more than lemon or a splash of vinegar, but they are also grilled, baked, fried or added to stews. One important caution: raw oysters can carry naturally occurring bacteria such as Vibrio, so people who are pregnant, elderly, very young or have weakened immune systems are advised to eat them thoroughly cooked rather than raw.
