Live oysters are flavorful and refreshing. Though they are also delicious cooked, slurping them down on the half shell is one of life’s greatest gastronomic pleasures. As the French like to say, “Eating a raw oyster is like kissing the sea on the lips.”
Live Olympia oysters are a great choice for beginners because of their small size, while live Kumamoto oysters and Pacific oysters are a hit with connoisseurs. For large oysters, try live Virginica oysters, grown 3-5 years before harvest! All of these oysters are farmed off the coast of Washington State.

Live Olympia Oysters – 3 dozen
Olympia oysters’ small size (1-2 inches) and full-bodied flavor makes them a good choice for oyster beginners.

I vote for Leslie Youngstrom, 8 year old Will should have his oysters!
I’m voting for Leslie Youngstrom and eight year old Will. I remember winning a contest at a young age, it’s something you never forget! Plus, he seems to have a genuine love of oysters!
Let the young man have his oysters. I vote for #39.
Without a doubt, eight year old Will (son of Leslie Youngstrom) is a compelling case… even though he is a Dodger fan. He gets my vote!
I’m voting for #34. Like the ideas presented for Thanksgiving faire.
I vote for Will!
I feel that Will the 8 year old boy is unique and truly love oysters! I hope he wins!
I’m a giants fan but I will still vote for Will. Any 8 year old boy that likes oysters has got to be a winner!
The kid is good, but I’ll cast a vote for Miriam who’ll feed 8 grad students…so hard for grad students to find high quality food like raw oysters offer.
Way to go Will.
Enjoy!!
If your boy truly loves oysters, he should have them.
I vote for number 94. That sounds great!
