I can eat my weight in mussels and oysters. Just a dab of cocktail sauce or a bit of tabasco and oysters are heavenly
Take mussels plain. Load up oysters on hs with shrimp sauce with extra horseradish plus lemon juice. Sneeze a lot.
First time I had oysters was when I was around 30 & working in Alexandria, LA. Co-workers took us to a place that served nothing but oysters on hs, fries, & beer at picnic tables with red/white checkered plastic tablecloths. Make your own sauce from catsup/horseradish/hot sauce/Worcestershire sauce/lemon juice. A pitcher of beer later I'd eaten 2 dz of those suckers. I was hooked.
