There are many delicacies in the sea: stone flowers, oysters, conches, sea pigs... But my favorite is oysters, let me tell you slowly.

Oysters don’t look good, but they contain a lot of calcium.

There is a thick shell on the outside of the oyster. You need to use something called an "ear" with a very pointed head to insert it into the "mouth" of the oyster, and the shell will separate.

The meat exposed inside, moistened by sea water, is white, tender, and soft to the touch. It has a sea flavor that tempts you and makes you want to swallow it right away.
