Dang, those are some impressive big oysters. When I took my girlfriend on a road trip, we stopped by the Jolie Pearl in Baton Rouge and she said the oysters there are the most amazing she's ever had. Huge fat flavorful oysters and for a great price (happened to 85 cent oyster Tuesday afternoons). Said she wanted to open an oyster bar in Shenzhen serving Louisiana oysters after the trade war is dead and buried. I said it won't ever be over as far as I'm concerned LOL. Lookin' at these pics, I guess we might see that oyster bar open after all...
