TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Has anyone tried the raw oysters at Kraken in Simpson Bay?

I haven't ever been to Kraken in Simpson Bay, but I'm curious about the quality of their raw oysters. Who's tried them?

We personally won’t simply because it’s no way they can have fresh Oysters 🦪 on a daily basis

If oysters are kept refrigerated and covered with a damp cloth they will keep at least a week. Do it in RI frequently.

Wish I could eat them. Used to have them raw, bbqed in the shell, stewed and fried. I don't dare as my system can't handle even a bite now. Shucks. Play on words. LOL

Well, ate a lot of them in college. But had a retired relative living in Florida die from them so they are off the menu.

Vibrio vulnificus

If somehow you are susceptible in your old age, 1 in 5 die from vibrio infection. Organ failure and flesh eating doesnt sound so appetizing anymore.

Those with cirrhosis of the liver are highly susceptible.
