The "R" Myth

Did you know that long ago people were warned never to eat oysters in months that did not contain the letter "R" (May, June, July, August)?  This is because during these months, it is a lot warmer and back then there was a lack of proper refrigeration needed to keep the oysters fresh. It is also said that oysters taste better in the cooler months because they are thicker. Although they may be thicker and tastier in the cooler months of the year, oysters are a delicious treat that can be enjoyed year-round!
