My favorites
Although these are usually grilled or otherwise cooked, Pacifics are some of my favorites to enjoy on the half shell. They can be a bit challenging for the neophyte to shuck and can be a bit stubborn but the reward is a succulent, sweet oyster that is a beautiful mouthful of goodness. Not as briny as some, the taste is mild and satisfying. Asians (such as myself) love this size, but if you're intimidated by larger oysters, try the extra smalls. Either way, you can't go wrong with these!
