Didn't help the Fat Duck ( 3 michelin star place) a few years back.Originally posted by Lockhouse View PostI like oysters. Pretty much all oysters carry some virus - norovirus is particularly common. That's why all quality oysters are placed in clay or clean water pens to clean them out before eating - hence "fines de claire".
If you're going to eat raw seafood, eat it from somewhere that has a good turnover so you know it's fresh.
Shame about Michael Winner, I quite liked him.
You can have a good supplier and all it takes for the water in which the oysters are bedded to become polluted and you have a disaster on your hands.
I love oysters but have had food poisoning from them a tad too often when handled by numpties in kitchens.
I used to enjoy Winners Dinners in the times years ago.

Just as London apprentices used to complain about the salmon from the River Thames that they were forced to eat.
