It isn't a big deal for some but I prefer to just get them shucked.

I'm not even what my friends would call and oyster person, I like them, a lot, but I don't got nuts for them.
But I think if you get them shucked them take them home, you're losing that oyster liquor. Does Whole Foods shuck them and just put the meat in a little tub for you?
That would be pretty sweet if I had money.
I don't have the money to spend to get nice oysters shucked for chowder.
Best I would could hope for is my aunt doing chiu chow oyster pancakes.
Also, I like the small ones the best. Kumamotos and Miyagi are probably my favs. I get mine from Seafood City on Granville Island.
Done a couple oyster nights, have yet to have a single sub-par oyster.
