Oyster is a common name for oyster, and strictly speaking, it is an inclusive relationship with oyster. Oyster is just one variety of oyster.
However, in the eyes of coastal people, oysters and oysters are two completely different things.
Oysters are generally small in size, triangular in shape, and grow on rocks or other hard objects on the seashore. They need to be dug open with a small hoe to extract the meat, which is scarce and mostly pale blue.
Oysters, on the other hand, are quite large. A single oyster in its shell can weigh over a pound. The meat is thick, mostly white, plump, delicate, and delicious.
Oysters are not only larger than regular oysters, but they also have a much higher nutritional value.
In terms of protein, it has a higher content than ordinary oysters, reaching 45%-56%, and is rich in a variety of nutrients that are beneficial to the human body.
Especially in terms of zinc content, oysters are definitely top performers, containing 7-8 times more zinc than ordinary oysters and far surpassing other natural foods, earning them the reputation of "sea milk".
What puzzled Feng Ye was that oysters generally grow where rivers meet the sea, in the shallow waters of the inner bay where the water is brackish.
But this is just a lonely little island in the sea, how could oysters grow here?
"Could I be seeing things? Or is there fresh water on this island?"
Feng Ye was filled with doubt.
The danger level on the reef was quite high, so he didn't dare to be careless and carefully walked towards the reef.
Standing on that rock, he actually saw fresh water flowing continuously from the gap between the two rocks.
Although the water flow is not large, and it can only be considered a small spring, it still exists.
He crouched down and carefully examined the unusually large oysters.
They are truly exceptional; their size and color are far superior to those of ordinary oysters.
Taking out the small hoe that had once made outstanding contributions to prying open abalone from the bucket, Feng Ye casually swung the hoe and pried one open.
"Wow, these really are oysters, and they're so plump, full of meat."
His face was full of surprise.
Oysters are one of his favorite seafoods.
Most men cannot resist the temptation of oysters, unless they are allergic to them.
The reason is simple: oysters are a man's energy booster.
The opened oyster meat glistened enticingly in the sunlight, as if saying, "Grandpa, come and eat me!"
Without saying a word, Feng Ye dug it out and threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
"Mmm, sweet and delicious, it's really tasty."
Feng Ye closed his eyes, savoring this ultimate culinary feast.
Oysters can be eaten raw and taste delicious, while sea oysters are mostly cooked before eating, as they taste quite unpleasant when eaten raw.
He pried open several more and put them into his mouth one by one until he got a little tired of them before stopping.
Without cooking or other seasonings, eating it raw can be quite cloying.
If you get tired of it, just pack it up and take it home to eat in different ways.
Garlic oysters, oyster omelet, steamed oysters, grilled oysters, oyster omelet...
It sounds delicious.
Feng Ye was practically drooling.
He got busy, digging out whole oysters with their shells on and throwing them into the bucket.
He quickly filled a bucket, but only managed to harvest about half of the oysters from the rock.
Nearby, many rocks are covered with oysters, some of which are submerged in water and have not yet emerged.
It's impossible to finish digging it all out; it's simply impossible to finish digging it all out.
He quickly called Fang Yi and the other two over to dig together.
"Oysters? Aren't these just oysters? Only bigger."
Fang Yi didn't know the difference between oysters and sea oysters, and was quite surprised when he came over.
Wang Teng and Zhang Qiang were also confused, and upon hearing this, they both looked at Feng Ye, waiting for his answer.
After explaining, Feng Ye said, "Oysters can be eaten raw, you can try them."
"Can it be eaten raw?"
Upon hearing this, all three of them had their eyes light up.
They were actually quite hungry at this point.
Diving naked for an hour is quite physically demanding.
Lunch consisted of a pot of plain noodles eaten during the voyage; it would have been difficult to swallow if it weren't for the lunchbox of vegetables that Feng Ye had brought.
Moreover, for southerners, noodles are just a snack, not a staple food, and they don't keep them full for long.
"I'm really hungry, so I'll try it and fill my stomach."
As Fang Yi spoke, he casually pried open one, scooped out the meat, and put it in his mouth.
He chewed a few times, and before he could even swallow, he nodded and said, "Hmm, it tastes pretty good, I like it."
Wang Teng and Zhang Qiang also pried open the oysters and tasted them directly, but their reactions were quite different.
"It's alright, nothing special. It's not bad, but it's not particularly delicious either."
This is Wang Teng's assessment.
"vomit……"
Zhang Qiang, however, seemed to have eaten a pile of excrement, not only vomiting it out but also gagging incessantly.
His reaction was not surprising; it was normal. Not everyone can accept eating raw food.
In fact, the general opinion of Chinese people regarding eating raw seafood is similar to Wang Teng's assessment—it's just so-so, not bad at all.
"You're missing out. Oysters are a real treat, very nutritious, especially for men."
Seeing Zhang Qiang gagging, Feng Ye couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"You mean this stuff...to nourish the kidneys?"
Zhang Qiang looked at the oyster he had spat out, somewhat incredulous.
"That's right, it's for tonifying the kidneys."
Feng Ye nodded, noticing Zhang Qiang's somewhat surprised and uncertain expression.
