Dr. Drew Ramsey is prescribing his patients an alternative treatment for anxiety and depression that deviates from the standard Prozac, Zoloft, and Celexa: oysters. Yep, we're talking about shellfish. According to the Columbia University assistant professor and psychiatrist, the popular dish can improve mental health. Ramsey credits the food's high vitamin b12 for reducing brain shrinkage, while noting the link between long chain omega-3 fatty acid deficiencies and depression, New York Times reports. Given the oyster's high level of the polyunsaturated fatty acid, they can reduce symptoms. www.delish.com/food-news/a27021865/oysters-help-anxiety-and-depression/

That’s nice, but I still don’t like them.

When I was a kid, my dad took to me to an "oyster bar" for fresh caught raw oysters. I could not get them down. They just would not "swallow" .. so I had oyster stew and those little crackers instead.
Still can only eat the cooked ones but not particularly fond of them.
I wonder if clams and mussels have the same effect as oysters, healthwise.

Never had the fresh ones, but canned smoked oysters with cream cheese on a cracker is quite good.

Voted no, but I have no idea if they taste disgusting, but they don't look appetizing.

Voted no, but I have no idea if they taste disgusting, but they don't look appetizing. I think you are talking about raw oysters. If they are cooked, they look different. Especially if deep fried.

Oysters? Yes, but not snails.

Oysters? Yes, but not snails. When first seeing the subject line, I thought this was some kind of Spartacus thing too. For the record: love 'em both (but get oysters much more frequently). I ordered escargots at a birthday dinner once, and someone at the table asked why they were so expensive. My chef friend said, "Hey, it's a lot of work to get them to crawl into those decorative shells."

Yes! My favorite way to eat them is home made oyster stew. Deep fried is good.
I also like the canned smoked oysters Lebowskidoo mentioned. I eat then with Triscuits, hot sauce and boiled egg.

Yes. That reminds me, I have an unopened can of smoked oysters I bought months ago I still haven’t eaten.

No. What I would much rather do, is bring them home, put them into an aquarium, and add tiny things into their shells, so that pearls can be formed inside of them.
