This past weekend my family and I, went for a mini getaway to Atlantic City for the weekend. Once we arrived, we were all so hungry so we rushed to the first restaurant we came across. This restaurant was called Izakaya, and it had a modern Japanese cuisine. We were seated and one by one we began to order. When it was my mom’s turn to order she asked for oysters, I immediately looked at her like she had ten heads.  I had never seen my mother order or eat oysters, and I had no idea she even liked oysters. When the waiter brought the oysters out my first response was “Oh my god these are gross”. Theses oysters looked so slimy that I was skeeved out just by looking at them. As gross as they seemed, in the back of my head I kept hearing Dr. Smith’s voice saying how delicious oysters are. My parents and siblings were begging me to try them and so I finally gave in. I was so confused as to how one eats Oysters. So I decided to use a fork instead of slurping it out of the shell, yes I was the only one in the whole restaurant using a fork to eat oysters. After trying oysters for the first time, I could not believe how good they tasted. I’m happy I was open to trying them and learning how delicious they are. I forgot to take a picture of the actual oysters I ate, but I found an image that looks exactly like them. I highly recommend anyone who has not tried oysters to go out and order some and give it a shot because I can guarantee you will love them.
