Giant mutant oysters from Blackwater Oysters in Essex at the Farmers Market

Size matters. 
I was so lucky to get hold of two mutant oysters because this is one of those rare lifetime opportunities. 
It was much bigger and cheaper than the previous one I got in a London. 
I was in shock when I saw the size of it that I got a bit too excited. 
The best thing is that there is an area where you can eat your oysters and they even had a metal knife which makes it easy to eat. 
The oysters are shucked in front of you and William opened them effortlessly. 
I had the oyster straight and was surprised that the taste was intense with a salty kick. 
With its monstrosity, the scallop muscle was big and sweet. 
These oysters are depurated if you are in the know.
There is fresh lemon and condiments there as well. 
Having regretted terribly from previously throwing away the shell from the last oyster one, I was prepared this time with an old bubble padded envelope to put the shell in but the shell turned out to be much bigger so what a lucky girl I was.
There are only a few each week as these giants take up space and what's more funny is that they also take up space in the oyster bed at sea.
The one I had was 8 years old like an old cat but I'm not sure how long oysters live for.
Anyway, I am so blessed to be acquainted with these as their oyster farm is far away in Essex.
