Oysters are a type of shellfish that are often consumed either raw or cooked. They are known for their briny and unique flavor, and are considered a delicacy in many cultures. Oysters can be served on the half shell, often accompanied by lemon, vinegar, or cocktail sauce, and are also used in cooked dishes like oyster stew or Rockefeller oysters.
Oysters have been consumed for thousands of years, with evidence of oyster farming dating back to Roman times. They are found in marine or brackish waters and are harvested in many parts of the world, especially in regions with strong maritime traditions such as Europe, Asia, and North America.
Oysters have a briny, savory taste with a slightly metallic aftertaste, often described as reminiscent of the sea.
