The word oyster is used as a common name for a number of distinct groups of bivalve molluscs which live in marine or brackish habitats.
Molluscs, especially bivalves such as clams and mussels, have been an important food source since at least the advent of anatomically modern humans—and this has often resulted in over-fishing. Other commonly eaten molluscs include octopuses and squids, whelks, oysters, and scallops

Oysters are molluscs and shellfish.

Mollusc is a scientific term (a phylum, I believe). Shellfish is a culinary term for most edible stuff that comes from the ocean and that doesn't look like fish or algae.

Molluscs are considered IN the shellfish as a catagory
but a mollusc are a mollusc

And Lobsters, shrimp, crawfish & crabs are crustaceans

Shellfish is a catch all term for anything without gills & scales.

Trust the Gorton's Fisherman

It's sad the band has reduced us to debate the difference between crustaceans & molluscs instead of set lists :lol:

Hey, I'm with you... but those terms (mollusc and shellfish) are not exclusive.

If you want to buy oysters, you'd go to the 'shellfish' area of the market, because there's no 'mollusc' area.

And if you're talking about life in the sea and want to describe the different kinds of animals, you wouldn't say 'oysters are one of the most beautiful shellfish'... you'd say 'it's a god damn mollusc'.

i.e., both are correct. I'd say 'mollusc' can be used both in the context of cuisine and scientific description, while shellfish only works in the context of food. And since people here were talking about how gross of absurdly fantastical oysters are, both terms are correct.

actually we just have a "seafood" dept. Catch all term for anything plucked out of the water.

To be honest I was never a fan of the Oyster. Clams & mussels I love! Maybe fried Oysters but not raw. :essence:

but who can say no to this??

Oysters are unspeakably delicious.....nature's perfect food. Paired properly and with a simple mignonette....divine. Clams on the half shell too! NY has the best offerings I have ever had.

I'd take his word on this. I know i'm gonna be flamed on for this, even by Larry. but, in my opinion, Chilean people are only second to Peruvians, seafood-wise, in all of the americas :tiphat:

Yeah, in Peru they really know their stuff. I've been there only once, but the ceviches I ate... god damn!

And in Chile you can find tons of delicious preparations of every slimy sea creature you can think of.

Well I have never tried them since they look disgusting, but I don't think that counts.

What is going on with this thread? The GA and AL threads are woven together intermittently, with of course another relevant issue pertaining to Jane's Addiction of whether oysters are shellfish. :lolol:

No, I was reading along after the fact. Looks an awful lot like you were dead wrong and now want to pass it off as a joke, making it even funnier. :lolol:

Ha, I eat weird crap from the ocean all the time now. I love oysters, even if they do like like weird vaginas. Fried oysters are the best. Crawfish are great too! When I was a kid, my brother and me would catch them and boil them over a fire we made. Good times. Oh, I tried this not long ago.

Chaos is a girl, and yes, they do.

Also, properly prepared mussels reign supreme.
