I hate raw oysters. This is odd because I’ve been eating raw seafood my whole life. I’m part Japanese and it comes with the heritage territory. That said, put those same oysters on a sizzling grill, and drizzle any kind of sauce on them, and I am all for that. This plays a role in my love affair with Hood Canal.
