Raw oysters are on the top of my list of favorite foods.  I particularly love the kushies.  The briny flavor with a hint of smell of the sea is to die for.  A few drops of fresh lemon juice and vodka is all I need to enjoy them.  My mom and I were running a couple of errands downtown, and decided to stop at our favorite oyster bar for a treat.  We shared some kushies and kumimotos.  My taste buds died and went to heaven.
