Speaking of oysters!! Couple of us are doing an oyster roast for SB Sunday, we are either going with clusters or selects from either Ladson seafood OR Jedburg seafood. Any ideas on which may have the better price/selection. And whats the real difference between clusters and selects, other than the huge price difference.

[OleTomCat]

Clusters are normally cheaper, selects are easier to open and serve.....

[Capt Rick Hiott]

You throw away more oysters with clusters, and sometimes time they have more mud on them than the singles.

There is a guy on here named Paul, "Sellsfish" that should be able to get you a good price on them too............

this LARGEST difference IMHO is that clusters are usually local and taste much better than the single selects that usually come from Texas or somewhere near where the Mississippi river dumps out into the gulf... the singles have been washed out by all the fresh water and just don't have a lot of taste

then of course the obvious, takes more time to eat the clusters until you become real familiar with how to speed through them like most of us that grew up eating them many times a year in different friends/families back yards!

if you get clusters make sure you wash them real good in your yard with a hose, you want to wash as much of the mud off of the shells as you can...

I prefer the clusters hands down!
tastier and saltier

I've definitely heard that the taste is better. We ended up getting a real good price Rick and reserved them yest. Also went w/ the clusters, cost was a factor as we are getting 5 bushels. Few of my friends also recommended we go the cluster route, taste and cost were the reasons.
