Same as for example wine and cheese, the flavor of oysters is tightly dependent to terroir, that is, the environment in which they grow.
There are at least a thousand of unique oyster terroir. Having on mind that I've tasted just a few different oyster "appellation", makes me an absolute beginner, but I'm willing to learn ;-)
Swedish delight from Grebbestad, town north of Gothenburg, known for superb Norway lobster and natural oyster banks in the Bohuslän archipelago.
My fancy metal oysters glove.
Of course you don't need fancy gloves and you don't even need fancy knives, but you absolutely need a clam/oyster knife and that will not not break your wallet.
Ready to satisfy my oyster craving
If you have tried once and you are not enthusiastic about it, give it another shot as you may tasted the wrong ones. There so much different flavors from salty to super sweet and from lemony high-acid finish to a petite oysters best for Champagne.
Make sure oysters are still alive (their shells must be tightly closed), scrub oysters with a stiff brush under running water, and use a towel as a protection. Always try to catch the oyster's juices by positioning shell cup-side down so its flatter side faces up.
Enjoy.
