Hi,
I've been wanting to learn how to safely cook oysters to make me want to eat them. For a while now, I would mostly go to Whole Foods, get a few oysters shucked, and eat em raw very soon afterwards. I would do this periodically when I felt like I really needed some zinc. They taste really great and I never feel like anything is 'off' when I consume them raw, but I don't want to risk getting hepatitis or something serious. I've decided that I want to consume oysters more often and what's impeding me is the slight fear that I will get sick from eating raw oysters eventually.
So I tried just heating some up in the microwave last night. They were pretty rubbery and not very tasty. I did it for the sake of health, but there's gotta be a better way to go about this.
Any tips? Any ways to cook them while preventing nutrient loss as much as possible would be awesome. What do you guys do as far as oysters go?
