I say I don't like oysters, but truly, I've never tried one so I don't really know.

I don't like shellfish as a rule. I had to eat a clam and a mussel to be polite, and ugh. The texture, bleh. I will eat scallops. And while I eat lobster, it's an expensive delivery system for butter and garlic, so normally I'll pass and get teh steak instead.

However, I promised myself that if the opportunity arises to try an oyster when I don't have to pay for it--I will. Because you never know. That's how I discovered I like eel and octopus.
