Choice Grade Oysters: Choice grade oysters have a rounded top and come to a distinctive point at the bottom of the oyster called the “hinge”. They have a deep “bowl” or “cup” that contains the oyster meat and holds the delicious natural juices or “liquor”.
Choice grade oysters are more visually pleasing and easier to shuck then a “standard grade” oyster and for this reason they are more desired by restaurants and oyster connoisseurs and are therefore sold for a premium price.
Oysters are naturally loaded with Omega-3 and vitamins A, B (1, 2, and 3), C, and D. All of which your body needs on a daily basis to function and stay in tip-top condition. They’re gluten-free as well. Oysters have a naturally high zinc count, which you need to maintain your body’s immune system. They also have very little fat.
