You haven't seen big oysters until you've seen Apalachicola oysters. 
Those are the biggest, juiciest, best oysters I've ever had - as big 
as the palm of your hand.  Believe it or not, I've eaten raw oysters 
at every one of the top ten oyster bars in the 
USA.  http://www.apalachicolariverinn.com/top10.html

My favorite is not on this list.  Tom's Oyster Bar in Buras, LA, is 
probably not there anymore.  I last ate there before Katrina. Oysters 
were shucked straight from the dock onto a school cafeteria 
tray.  You didn't need sauce or anything else.  And they were so cheap!

The tiny little oysters at Wellfleet in MA are also wonderful.  I ate 
6 dozen at the annual oyster street festival there and got a free hat.

The oysters on the West coast that I've had have been mainly very 
expensive, but maybe I haven't eaten at the right places.  I couldn't 
afford to eat my usual 6-9 dozen at any of the restaurants 
there.  Oysters had to be an appetizer instead of a main course!
