Charbroiled Oysters

I am not the biggest seafood fan. As a matter of fact, other than shrimp, crab legs, and maybe halibut, I try to stay away from the stuff. The week of Jan 21st was a new milestone for me, I ate charbroiled oysters. I was in Houma, LA at a client for work and I went out to lunch with one of the Accounting Managers, the Controller, and the CFO. We went to one of their favorite local restaurants: Big Al's. The CFO ordered up some appetizers, which you have probably guessed, ended up being the charbroiled oysters. I was a little apprehensive about eating them, but I do like to at least try something once. Plus, I didn't want to offend the client. So, I took the two that were alloted to me and scooped out the meat (covered in cheese and seasonings) and ate it. It actually wasn't too bad.

I don't think this will be a trend for me, and I'm definitely not interested in eating the raw kind. I'll stick with shrimp and crab legs, which is the extent of my seafood palate.
