Oysters

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

Dear lazyweb, how bad is it to eat oysters out of season?

Do they taste bad/have more chance of giving you nasty diseases, or is it more likely to deplete the stocks of oysters?

I've been seeing a lot of po'boys lately and I could really go for one right now, do I have to wait for september or are those days long gone?

and in the days before refrigeration, they would have gone off more quickly in the summer and made you ill. I suppose nowadays you might not have to worry about that part.
