raw oysters
Briny half-shell delicacy
Raw oysters are oysters served uncooked, typically on the half shell with their briny liquor intact.
They're eaten directly from the shell, often with lemon, mignonette sauce, or hot sauce.
Raw oysters are associated with fine dining and coastal cuisine, though they carry food safety risks that make some people avoid them: We ordered a dozen raw oysters to start.
