It's not that the oyster tastes bad (except, I mean, when it's "bad"). A good oyster tastes briney and fresh, with an interesting slippery texture. But yeah, mainly it's a vehicle for sauce.

Not in my world. I can eat any of the things we talked about plain, without sauce. I have. Heck, I grew on on the Great South Bay of New York and dug clams with my toes. Brought them home, pried them open, ate them. No sauce at all...just pure clam.
Sauce sauce and wasabi enhances sushi, sure...a little lemon and horseradish on a clam, great. But to call them a vehicle for the sauce....that's a sacrilege in my world. LOL

Amanda, I think it's great that you took your new friend to a fish taco place, and you took Katherine to a sushi place!! Makes me want to hop on a plane to Pittsburgh this instant!!

Please do hop on a plane! It would be fun. I now know several other good places to get sushi in addition to the place where I went with K. And, actually, the pub where I had fish tacos was on my list of places to maybe take K back when she came to visit... but the place where she was staying was pretty far away from the fish-taco-pub... so sushi it was!
I'm glad folks are enjoying this poll. I'm becoming encouraged about trying raw oysters one of these days.

Raw oysters are good Amanda. I'm not a big fan of chewing them though. I put some hot sauce on them and let them slide down my throat. :)

I've never had a raw clam one way or another. But oysters and sushi ... well, I've eaten them sauceless, but to me that's kind of like eating popcorn without salt or a baked potato without butter and/or sour cream.
I guess "vehicle for the sauce" is a tiny bit of an exaggeration, though. When the oysters are gone (always too soon), I might have a little sauce on a Saltine, and when the sushi is gone (again too soon) I consume any stray rice with the sauce. But neither is a decent substitute.
