    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.
    Didn't help the Fat Duck ( 3 michelin star place) a few years back.

    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.

    I don't like salmon so I can understand that.

    I have never understood why people would pay loads of money for them.

    And to think a few hundred years ago the were one of the the staple foods of the poor.
