My mom's hometown Bolinao, in the province of Pangasinan has been blessed with wonderful marine life. When the people in the town started salt water milkfish farming, it attracted other marine animals such as oysters and mussels. My mom's brother-in-law works as a caretaker of some fish cages, and because his main job was to watch over the milkfishes, he can certainly do anything he wants to the other marine animals he could collect.
July of last year, my mom and I together with some relatives went to Bolinao because one of my uncles will be migrating to the US with his family. He wanted the family to be together one last time before they leave the Philippines. On our first morning there, we were served some dried fish and oysters for breakfast - much to my mom's delight. I don't really eat oysters, so I just delight in taking pictures of my mom. =)

Wonderful O's. I'd prefer to take pictures, too! :)
I have never been too sure about oysters either, but your mum looks like she's enjoying them.
Thy look like some very tasty oyster. Not too big, not too small, just right size fresh from the sea. I do not mind to eat them, raw.
Great subject for the letter"O"! Oysters are very expensive here in my country! Your mum looks very great!
I love raw oysters with a sprinkle of lemon juice. Also oyster stew. I had never met an oyster before moving to Massachusetts right after Otto and I were married. Your Mom looks great in these photos.
