TRANSCRIPT
Every now and then you will open up an oyster and it won't looks so good. It can be like withered inside or it can be like blackish. If it's not a nice fleshy color, just throw them away. I don't think I've had anybody get sick from eating an oyster here, unless it was combined with a little too much Tequila.
