We grow oysters here in Washington. Oysters and hush puppies, Yum.
I've joked that the only thing a real Texan will eat raw are oysters...Love oysters! Have since I was quite young. My mom has a picture of me eating one in Oregon when I was maybe 4.
Medium well to well done. If the plate floods in blood when I'm cutting in to it, I'm putting it back on the grill.Don't tell me. You like your ribeye well done with ketchup like the dude in DC.
Little known fact: NY city was the oyster capital of the US in the 18th/19th century.

My Dad says I was about this age running around my grandparents yard in Houston when I asked for one. He and my grandfather were shucking them for an oyster stew (and enjoying a few raw for themselves), but after that they couldn't keep me away! My brothers followed soon afterwards.

I've not seen raw oysters used in sushi, is that not a thing in Japan?
Sushi is literally the vinegared rice, oysters do not pair well with sushi. I'm sure there would be some restaurant with a nontraditional option just like getting raw chicken or raw beef or quail egg nigiri item. But you'd most likely see it served not as sushi like just as they are shucked, or as shooters.
Long Island oysters exemplify my reasons for absolute refusal to eat coastal filter feeders. Medical waste is just the tip of the iceberg. And yes, I'm talking modern trash sources, not Dead Horse Bay. Although there is that too.
