About Mollusks, oyster, eastern, farmed, raw
Farmed eastern oysters raw are lower in protein than most seafood and carry a small but real carbohydrate load from stored glycogen. They are not a high-protein food the way fish or shrimp are. What they offer instead is a complex, briny flavor profile shaped heavily by the waters where they are grown, along with meaningful amounts of zinc and other minerals. Eaten raw on the half shell, they remain one of the more distinctive foods in the American shellfish repertoire.
