Oysters on a Half Shell - Hog Island Oyster Co, Napa CA

What an experience!!! This was another first for me, and I didn't know what to expect.  I was so scared to try them that I had the people at the next table cracking up laughing at my reaction.

I had some silly thoughts about them.  I was wondering if they were actually still alive, or were they dead.  Did they let out a little scream when I bit one, and did the others sense what was coming next?? I know, I know...silly thoughts!

I didn't know whether to chew them or swallow them whole.  I opted to chew them.  They were VERY cold, which I understand is a good thing.  I added some of the condiments to them.  They were good, but I haven't had them since that day.  LOL

That's my niece sitting in the background.  It was her first time trying them as well. Her expression kind of says it all!! hahaha
