Oysters are good in any month having an R in its name. The largest oysters should be used for frying and boiling; the next larger size for raw and soup, the smallest for croquettes, scallops, etc. It is a very important matter to examine very carefully each oyster before cooking and see that no bits of shell adhere to them.
