Oysters

Oysters are a group of edible marine bivalve mollusks belonging to the Ostreidae family. Pacific and Eastern oysters are the two most frequent varieties. They perform an important function in the ecosystem, improving water quality by filtering contaminants out of the water and assisting in the creation of suitable habitats for fish, invertebrates, and other shellfish.

Oysters were a cheap bar snack 200 years ago, and they were available to everyone. Overfishing, on the other hand, reduced the number of oysters accessible, and they became a luxury item. The Romans were the first to cultivate oysters nearly 2,000 years ago. Caius Sergius Orata, a trader and innovator, created artificial oyster beds in 97 B.C.

Oysters are a somewhat expensive dish these days, and they're usually eaten raw and served on ice. Oysters from Coffin Bay are among the most costly in the world. They grow for 6 to 7 years, weigh one pound, and cost $100 AUD (about 77 USD).
