How do restaurants manage to sell them during the summer? It all depends what the water is like where you pick them. If you're down South in warmer water I wouldn't eat them raw, but if your up North picking in cold clear water, it's no big deal. Always check for red tide first, no matter what time of year.
I eat em' any way, but I prefer raw in the shell. I haven't paid for oysters in years, now that I found some great places to pick them. The first thing I do when I arrive is shuck a couple, squeeze some fresh lemon and a drop or two of tobasco and enjoy.
Here's a pic from one of the places I go.
