LOL! We were discussing Rocky Mountain oysters, Ish.

I've had raw oysters, and they're OK.

A colleague who collected clams said he always fed some raw ones to his cats. If the cats didn't die then he knew they didn't have red tide and were safe to eat. red tide = paralytic shellfish poisoning.

There is a place in Alaska called Poison Cove. It got its name when some Aleuts returning from forced slavery by the Russians in Sitka stopped to rest and ate clams that they found. Red tide was in force, and hundreds of them died.
