I'm a chef with your answer. The reason why the one brand of oysters did not have green stomachs is they had been through a purging process. You put the shellfish, works with most, into fresh water with corn meal. Other things can be used, but corn meal is cheap and readily available. The shellfish ingest some of the corn meal and it makes them vomit, then you wash them off leaving a cleaner tastier shellfish. It's also advised to do with lobster, clams, and mussels.
Brian Moore thank you for that info! You just helped me to convince my kids to try some of the seafood I love so much. I can now show them that I can clean shelfish more thoroughly and they aren't so grossed out anymore.
Wow! You're here, too! You and TheWolfePit are definitely among my top favorite TH-camrs! Very entertaining! Glad I kept scrolling down & saw your comment. Keep up the good work!
im still curious about why the last one didnt have green stomach.. maybe it has to do with the farm not being on a beach but in a controlled environment.... (im suprised to see laowhy comment on here too haha )
I studied marine biology and fisheries. The great value oysters having empty/nongreen stomachs most likely due to purging the oyster. Purging is taking the oyster/and shellfish and letting them sit in crystal clear water for 8-24 hrs, to purge/clear stomach contents as a means to remove waste. The green in the oysters stomachs is the green algae they filtered from the water, the white can be some kind of meal/flour.
I like the zesty tang of the acrid smoke a shifty eyed garfield wall clock provides. Adds just the right kick when you're hankering for a hunk of salty sludge monsters.
Smoked oysters are a staple of our family's New Year's Eve celebrating. We usually have them with a choice of sour cream or French onion chip dip on the side, as well as crackers, chips and shrimp cocktail. (And we always watch the 1984 movie version of Dune while eating them, too.)
We used to have them on Jan 1 brunch with fiery bloody marys to cure hangovers. And they did. And we don't drink anymore but I love the sour cream idea .... still think the ones I found in Canada are ok.
I very often eat canned sardines by Chicken of the Sea because they are a "Product of Poland" but I avoid any thing from China, I've seen the rivers that they use for irrigation and even though I'm a 5 year US military veteran that scares the hell out of me.
SuperSaltydog77 I hate to tell you, but the Baltic Sea is one of the most polluted bodies of water. If fish live in the water, the fish are also terribly polluted. There is everything... lots of radiation too. Google it. I try not to eat anything from the Baltic Sea and almost all seafood comes from there, except for the unhealthy Norwegian farmed salmon... but you never know about restaurant food, for example. I mostly avoid fish nowadays.
Those Polish sardines really are top quality in taste, but I never put a geiger counter on them, or the Latvian Sprats which are great. When you compare the Canadian herring or so called sardines, which are usually too large to be called such, they are hard in texture and off in taste. But I would guess the Canadian Atlantic fish are the cleanest of all, especially the crap from China
Its so some idiot doesnt eat them on purpose and be like 'UHHHH, I NEARLY DIED?!?!! IM SUING, WHERE WAS MY WARNING' its sad and highly hilarious at the same time.
Indeed. Prop. 65 is quite the classic case of a piece of well-meaning legislation ending up totally ridiculous and pointless. Combine the risk of being sued by someone abusing the system for a quick buck and there being no penalties for having the warning without actual need for it, companies slap it on pretty much everything just to play it safe.
The 'clean' ones at the end had been purged properly. I collect oysters here in Fl. and if you just purge them in water for a day or so you still get the green guts they have been living in but if you throw in a hand full of plain old flour they 'clean out' all that cr.p which is what it is.

@@Noble_Salvation Most of the seafood farmed in China is given an extremely low safety rating. depends on the country and fish, but Chinese farmed fish is almost never a good option.

I only eat seafood that is North American in origin. American or Canadian exclusively. I would be interested in what kind of toxic metals were present in those oysters. They are directly related to the cleanliness of the water they are raised in. And China is one of the most polluted places in the world.
'I only eat seafood that is North American in origin. American or Canadian exclusively' No you don't. You just think you do. Plenty of 'made in canada' and 'made in the USA' foods come from asia, south america and mexico and are packaged in the USA and canada. Both countries allow companies to add the 'made in' to packaging as long as the food has been packaged there. It doesn't matter where the food actually came from.

Sheepdog Wrangler Actually, I was raised in a fishing community and have pretty high standards about where my seafood comes from. You are correct about deceptive packaging though.

6:10 "I popped one in my pie hole and bit down on it and, HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP! I shot that oyster out of my mouth and across my yard like it was shot out of a cannon!" LOLOLOL!!!!
To your question about the oil: The market price/availability determines what they use. Sometimes the oils are blended as seasonal changes in flavor occur. Since the nutritional value is the same and they don't want to have, in inventory, two separate labels they put and/or on a single label.
"Not for sale in California" is printed on them, due to the ~12mg of lead in each can. The prop 65 warning has been replaced. That's several times the acceptable limit. Plus cadmium. Children are especially susceptible and will have significant brain damage from regular lead intake. Adults can handle one can sometimes. I just ate one, I love them. Thanks for the (lack of) memories, ALDI
Maybe it's different up here in Canada, or maybe I have just bought the same brands, but I have never encountered smoked oysters with green stomach contents. Of course the only brands available besides Great Value is Clover Leaf and maybe a few others. I might need to do my own taste test at some point.
i think the ones without green "contents" are left in clean water for a while, so they can empty theyr digestive tracts, for a cleaner taste and more appealing look.
They are all fed human poop. The green insides are from people that eat seaweed and the white insides are from people that eat only rice. The ornamental people do not poop brown like some people do.
Aldi sucks one of the worst companies in my country.Its a greedy company that gives nothing about there employees and their costumers. Also their store is very dirty, and thats the same for the Netherlands and Germany. So for me, i don't support them.
I certainly do as soon as I see China on the packet. It's unfortunately put me almost completely off seafoods as they all seem to be from china and vietnam these days. We're supposed to eat fish and stuff to be more healthy, but it's all garbage produce we're dealt.
The Great Value cans are available in Canada for $1.44 a can but are very VERY tiny in comparison, and I've had a lot of them. And their stomach contents are green. Their nutritional value is very different too. They taste fine but have a strong metallic taste, I'm not sure if it's just the iron content or if the can itself adds to it. The can doesn't very obviously have a coating of plastic as a lot do to prevent rusting, which is probably a good thing considering those plastic layers almost always contain BPA.
I love oyster stew and oyster pie. My grandmother made the best oyster pie and marveled that a little girl (I was 4 at the time) should enjoy it. She never gave out the recipe and I've never found a recipe like hers.
I've been eating canned smoked oysters as a snack food since I can remember. I prefer Northern Catch brand, and it turns out they're from Korea, not that I'd ever stopped to think about it before. They have some with a chili pepper thrown in the can, and they're fantastic.
My husband and I love watching your food reviews and you've even taught me how to smoke something on my gas grill. Nothing racist or wrong with wanting to buy American. Keep on doing what you're doing.
Columbus verɪfɪed Processed foods around the world use the same manufacturing techniques, which is why they’re cheap. It doesn’t matter where it comes from, because it will always be shit.
I'll subscribe because you made me lol when you said "I stabbed a fatty" lol..and the warning about causing cancer you said I can't hurry up enough to eat this" or something like that. Keep up the humor and the good reviews
😅 😂 🤣😅 😂 🤣 That Bubba Impersonation killed it. Funny stuff, Loved that movie if you never watched it u might not have picked up the humour . Great vid tho.
Johnathon Castro....... Do you use the oil around the oysters or just the oysters? Me? Shrimp ramen in a pan. I throw a 1/4 pound of bluegill, skin on, into the shrimp seasoned water. Lightly boil it for 10 minutes. Pull the fish out and put the ramen noodles in. While I eat the fish, the noodles get done. Sprinkle on a little chopped peanuts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Quick, easy, and really tasty! Sometimes I throw a little bok choy or wild greens in on top of the noodles. Lunch for less than a buck! :)
I believe the metallic chemical taste is from the cottonseed oil. The Geisha had sunflower oil. I've even noticed the difference in taste when eating deluxe mixed nuts, one oil tastes like it's used for machines while the other is cleaner, doesn't alter the product's flavor. Thanks for the taste test.
I wasn't hip to these until I seen you're video's, I probably would of never tried them but once you said how good they were I just had to try them. And I have to say, thank you very much. I love them now.
Green gill or stomach is entirely the diet that stains the oyster. Im an oyster farmer in the US. We have this condition occasionally every few years or so usually late spring. When conditions and water temperatures are suitable for that particular algea bloom to flourish. Green oysters are quite sought after in France for instance. I would never recommend purging oysters in a static water condition such as a bucket as dissolved oxygen depletes rapidly. And never tap water it will wildly change the flavor profile. Most good farms these days have purging as the final step done on site with seawater.
Looking on Ebay all the 1950s frozen dinner boxes that for some reason people didn't throw away, they're all made in the US and only have a handful of ingredients. Not sure what happened between then and now but it seems like it got undoubtedly worse.
The best smoked oysters in a can I found is the Kroger Brand premium smoked oysters. They are a product of South Korea and are very tasty. They have that smokey taste that reminds me of smoked ribs and doesn't taste metallic at all. Best brand in my opinion
Those products all looked like they were in the same can, with different packaging. I wouldn't be surprised if those oysters all came from one area or even one huge packaging factory in China that just sorts and packages them before shipping them to different distributers in the US. I am surprised there was such a difference in smokiness though. This might be a weird experiment but maybe you should try buying a few of the same can of your favorites and seeing if they vary from can to can.
Are they supposed to be green like that? I love oysters, but I can't recall ever seeing one that's green. Is it the canning process or something, 'cause I've never had canned oysters. Just something about the green though would really make me question it.
This might be the case that produce is fished in US, then sent for processing to china (which is surprisingly cheaper than doing it on local soil) then shipped back, packed. Obviously not with these since they are farm raised. But in case with ocean-caught fish - that's a solid case.
Well, again. It's just plain business. It's cheaper to make it there, including shipment costs. When much more smarter automation comes around tho - game will be changed dramatically. Since cost of electricity and repairs should be cheaper than Chinese (and much more cheaper than american) labor in general. Then you could see "made in USA" labels popping up in much larger quantities.
Smoke Fumus that's actually true, Iceland is known for fishing cod and its cheaper to send the damn fish all the way to china to be gutted/filleted and sent back.
I saw a video and they do the fish on the boat. They cut them up and put them in boxes and freeze them right away. And they even make tuna cans like that.
yeah tried these for the first time after watching this video. It's definitely an acquired taste tbh. I ended up turning them into a spread and drowning it in hot sauce, which turned out pretty decent.
man, I used to love these things but having grown up in Eastern North Carolina, I cannot seem to stomach these things anymore. Thank you for your videos and your voice. It's nice to hear here in Germany.
Thanks for your channel! I really love your videos. It's horrible to see what kind of stuff people put in our food. I'm Greek and I used to live in Japan, where freshness was the most important thing. The food was so healthy and felt so good. Since I'm in Germany, I always feel like I'm eating very unhealthy. I really don't know every chemical in our food. I'd love to have a list where I can see what every chemical means, and if its okay. I think the biggest issue is that healthy food is really expensive. I want to buy some bread, and I get confronted with a long list of chemicals. I have a hard time choosing the right stuff, especially when I have my kids in the future. Sometimes it kinda scares me. I mean I also eat frozen pizzas from time to time, but everytime I finish that I feel soooo guilty. Food standards are so different from country to country. My parents raised me to always cook fresh food. Sad to see that so many products can cause cancer..how can you sleep at night knowing that you're selling crap? What also really disappoints me is that living creatures die for being sold with disgusting chemicals for a dollar.
My family would always flush our clams and oysters and muscles, in water with corn meal for 24 hours before cooking them ,changing out the water and adding corn meal every few hours, it flushed the sand and other contents out and filled them with the meal. Maybe thats what happened with the last can you tried, tbey where flushed so they where grey inside.
Thank you for sharing Sir. I absolutely love oysters it doesnt matter how they are prepared. I eat canned oysters all the time. This is great information. I look forward to your next video. Thanks again.
If you're going to preserve the seafood, it makes more sense to buy it overseas and use your own production for fresh applications. These are smoked, sold in oil, so on. So yeah, it just make logistic sense to preserve as much of your own fresh batches for fresh use. IIRC most Asian countries buy *American* and other smoked oysters for the same reason. At least, that's what I've been told by some friends I have in Japan and Hong Kong. It makes sense.
I only eat American but these oyster are delicious on a hot fudge Sunday and french fries. We call it Kentucky highway dreams here in Ohio. Sounds like crap but we truckers crave the most exotic foods at times. Same old fast food gets boring and need to up it up!
cottonseed oil and/or sunflower oil is listed this way as both are used in the process of canning this tasty product but you just may not get one oil or the may only get the other at 100% instead of both in mixture as you probably have already surmissed...

If you want world class smoked oyster,check out those produced in the Pacific Northwest,Oregon especially.A really good pizza shop will have em available.add the to a combo,incredible.
I've seen them from South Korea at Trader Joe's. I can't remember the brand, but it was a well known canned fish marque. They were over $3 a can. When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s all the smoked oysters were Korean.
One of my drinking buddies used to eat a can of these every other night or so. It'd always make my stomach turn smelling them and watching him eat them.
Am I the only one who thinks his voice is soothing? Like your all american middle aged neighbor who you invite to your backyard BBQ and wish was your husband so you can have some rendezvous with cause you wanna hear that voice calling you a "naughty girl." That escalated quickly. And I'm not ashamed.
I did a comparison like this for myself a few months ago. My local store brand was the cheapest and best by far, and they turned out to be from Korea, not China like all the others. Kroger brand in case anyone was wondering.
Chinese smoked oysters should be avoided. Period. I love smoked oysters. When i really want them i make my own. I buy a bushell of mid atlantic oysters and smoke them myself its easy. You cant totally get rid of the green but if you have a large salt water aquarium. You can place your oysters in there and add corn meal to the water about a teaspoon for 4 days no longer. They will eat it expell the whatevers they ate before and will apear less green. Shuck them and lightly rinse them to get rid of any shell and place in a stainless steel container add olive oil. Use real charlcoal not brickettes. Put in smoker. After that its up to you how long you want them to cook. I get big oysters and like to reduce them to one third. For me thats the best. Its not about cook time its about cook reduction. Give it a try. Maybe do a vid on it
Dollar Tree in my area sells Pampa brand smoked oysters in sunflower oil with carrots , onions and red peppers. Although there are only 6 or 7 oysters in a can I must say I found them very appealing and tasty . They make a great snack at 2am lol . Would make a good video taste test.
I love canned smoked oysters, but they're like $3/can out here in Cali. My favorites are the Napolean "large". Crown Prince are pretty good too, and they from South Korea.
If they are $1.19 a can they are probably from china. The reason you pay the extra 2 dollars is not to be poisoned. I think California has a ban on Oysters from China. If so, California did at least one thing right.
I know one thing about canned oysters. If you just crack a can open (don't pull off the lid) and pour off the liquid and let them spoil a little, you can tape the can inside the heating vent in a car during winter. When the car isn't being used, the oysters are frozen and don't smell but when the heater gets run for a few minutes, they thaw and fill the vehicle with the smell of rotten oyster. Turn off the car, the can freezes again and the smell goes away. I'm a veteran of a really stupid prank war.

6:10 "I popped one in my pie hole and bit down on it and, HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP! I shot that oyster out of my mouth and across my yard like it was shot out of a cannon!" LOLOLOL!!!!
To your question about the oil: The market price/availability determines what they use. Sometimes the oils are blended as seasonal changes in flavor occur. Since the nutritional value is the same and they don't want to have, in inventory, two separate labels they put and/or on a single label.
"Not for sale in California" is printed on them, due to the ~12mg of lead in each can. The prop 65 warning has been replaced. That's several times the acceptable limit. Plus cadmium. Children are especially susceptible and will have significant brain damage from regular lead intake. Adults can handle one can sometimes. I just ate one, I love them. Thanks for the (lack of) memories, ALDI
12mg of lead per can? You sure about that bud?
I just can't deal with the "green stomach and stomach contents". I'll try most any food once, but nah, I'm gonna draw the line there.
pacadet my thoughts exactly. If anything i'm likely to get the walmart brand because of the lack of green contents lol.
Been eating these for decades without issue. This is the first time someone even pointed out to me they had green stomachs.
Maybe it's different up here in Canada, or maybe I have just bought the same brands, but I have never encountered smoked oysters with green stomach contents. Of course the only brands available besides Great Value is Clover Leaf and maybe a few others. I might need to do my own taste test at some point.
i think the ones without green "contents" are left in clean water for a while, so they can empty theyr digestive tracts, for a cleaner taste and more appealing look.
They are all fed human poop. The green insides are from people that eat seaweed and the white insides are from people that eat only rice. The ornamental people do not poop brown like some people do.
Do you have an Aldi in your area? Lots of potential for your channel. Mostly good food at a bargain price.
Vincent Vader Same as Lidl, cheap but decent food
Aldi sucks one of the worst companies in my country.Its a greedy company that gives nothing about there employees and their costumers. Also their store is very dirty, and thats the same for the Netherlands and Germany. So for me, i don't support them.
+Angry Guinea Pig
In the States, Aldi stores are clean and modern.
Wait a few years and they are also dumps where you are.
Okey in the states you have a different branch of Aldi stores so maybe they are different. Aldi North sucks thats a fact.
China has its fish farms and oyster farm in raw sewage. If you see made in china put it back on the shelf
I certainly do as soon as I see China on the packet. It's unfortunately put me almost completely off seafoods as they all seem to be from china and vietnam these days. We're supposed to eat fish and stuff to be more healthy, but it's all garbage produce we're dealt.
🌏 If it's affordable and I like the taste, & it's good enough for the Chinese, then it's good enough for Me❗🗿 (S.F.)
Patrick Jenkins they dont even eat the products they produce they only sell em to other countries
@@vfspectrum4652 so true. They send us the crap they don’t Find suitable for themselves.
how can one find out where the tin is from/made/ tinned? I dont see China indicated anywhere on the label even after pausing it .. ?
Apparently my mom and her brother fought over that shit when they were kids. They would section off the can for each person.
I adore smoked oysters. But haven’t had the chance to compare. I appreciate your video and will keep your impressions at mind
Thanks Wolfe for taking another one for the team! I wonder if they make canned mountain oysters?
I grew up eating these. There great with hot sauce!
I am eating it w it rn they slap.
The Great Value cans are available in Canada for $1.44 a can but are very VERY tiny in comparison, and I've had a lot of them. And their stomach contents are green. Their nutritional value is very different too. They taste fine but have a strong metallic taste, I'm not sure if it's just the iron content or if the can itself adds to it. The can doesn't very obviously have a coating of plastic as a lot do to prevent rusting, which is probably a good thing considering those plastic layers almost always contain BPA.
Love your channel and I try to make sure to watch all of your videos. I work at Walmart Home Office in Global Sourcing.
I love oyster stew and oyster pie. My grandmother made the best oyster pie and marveled that a little girl (I was 4 at the time) should enjoy it. She never gave out the recipe and I've never found a recipe like hers.
I've been eating canned smoked oysters as a snack food since I can remember. I prefer Northern Catch brand, and it turns out they're from Korea, not that I'd ever stopped to think about it before. They have some with a chili pepper thrown in the can, and they're fantastic.
Still alive 😅 ???
Ok, you are definitely brave
No Hippie BBQ & Cooking lol Thanks Lyle!
If Larry's balls were any bigger they'd have to start their own channel.
My husband and I love watching your food reviews and you've even taught me how to smoke something on my gas grill. Nothing racist or wrong with wanting to buy American. Keep on doing what you're doing.
Kelly Wingate ya
HelikaonIX Chinese things have worse
Columbus verɪfɪed Processed foods around the world use the same manufacturing techniques, which is why they’re cheap. It doesn’t matter where it comes from, because it will always be shit.
Columbus verɪfɪed the standard is make it quick and cheap fuck nugget that's why it's shit and bad for you it's most prevalent with big companies
I'll subscribe because you made me lol when you said "I stabbed a fatty" lol..and the warning about causing cancer you said I can't hurry up enough to eat this" or something like that. Keep up the humor and the good reviews
😅 😂 🤣😅 😂 🤣 That Bubba Impersonation killed it. Funny stuff, Loved that movie if you never watched it u might not have picked up the humour . Great vid tho.
love this series this was a great addition reminded me of my childhood
I throw smoked oysters in my seafood cup noodle!!!!
they have seafood cup of noodles? or are you talking about shrimp -_-
Aaron Turner Who cares? A better question is, why do you care?
Johnathon Castro yup their good and can turna..is good in the noodle cups as well
Johnathon Castro....... Do you use the oil around the oysters or just the oysters?
Me? Shrimp ramen in a pan. I throw a 1/4 pound of bluegill, skin on, into the shrimp seasoned water. Lightly boil it for 10 minutes. Pull the fish out and put the ramen noodles in. While I eat the fish, the noodles get done. Sprinkle on a little chopped peanuts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Quick, easy, and really tasty! Sometimes I throw a little bok choy or wild greens in on top of the noodles. Lunch for less than a buck! :)
Johnathon Castro I throw them in the trash
I believe the metallic chemical taste is from the cottonseed oil. The Geisha had sunflower oil. I've even noticed the difference in taste when eating deluxe mixed nuts, one oil tastes like it's used for machines while the other is cleaner, doesn't alter the product's flavor. Thanks for the taste test.
I wasn't hip to these until I seen you're video's, I probably would of never tried them but once you said how good they were I just had to try them. And I have to say, thank you very much. I love them now.
Green gill or stomach is entirely the diet that stains the oyster. Im an oyster farmer in the US. We have this condition occasionally every few years or so usually late spring. When conditions and water temperatures are suitable for that particular algea bloom to flourish. Green oysters are quite sought after in France for instance. I would never recommend purging oysters in a static water condition such as a bucket as dissolved oxygen depletes rapidly. And never tap water it will wildly change the flavor profile. Most good farms these days have purging as the final step done on site with seawater.
I've tired Oyster smoked. Didn't like 'em. They kept falling out of my pipe.
UberNeuman -- Good one!
Uber I couldn't keep em lit.
Ohhh , hahaha !
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
Not eating aything from china
You probably have and still continue to
www.regulations.gov/document?D=USTR-2018-0026-0001
Your eating china food
Looking on Ebay all the 1950s frozen dinner boxes that for some reason people didn't throw away, they're all made in the US and only have a handful of ingredients. Not sure what happened between then and now but it seems like it got undoubtedly worse.
Good plan, man.
ME EITHER HAVE YOU SEEN HOW THINGS ARE MADE AND PACKAGED AND FROM WHERE ,PLEASE YOU'D HAVE TO BE STUPID TO EAT ANYTHING FROM THAT PLACE
After a couple of Budweisers Bumble Bee smoked oysters are not too bad.
II don't think I could ever stomach eating an oyster but I really enjoy your reviews.
I am addicted to this channel thanks WolfePit! Your videos are great thanks for making them for me the people!
I sure hate oysters, but I sure liked this video! Wolfepit 4 life!
Warning!
Can of oysters may contain oysters!
Darryl Woodbury ....from China!
Welp guess i cant eat them because they contain osyters
@@golf-n-guns Good enough lol. Apocalypse prep for my gut.
The best smoked oysters in a can I found is the Kroger Brand premium smoked oysters. They are a product of South Korea and are very tasty. They have that smokey taste that reminds me of smoked ribs and doesn't taste metallic at all. Best brand in my opinion
After watching this video, I immediately took my unopened can of smoked oysters and threw it in the trash.
Each batch varies greatly. I just opened a can of Bumble Bee and there were NINE OYSTERS in the can. But they were huge and as tasty as usual.
Those products all looked like they were in the same can, with different packaging. I wouldn't be surprised if those oysters all came from one area or even one huge packaging factory in China that just sorts and packages them before shipping them to different distributers in the US.
I am surprised there was such a difference in smokiness though. This might be a weird experiment but maybe you should try buying a few of the same can of your favorites and seeing if they vary from can to can.
hey larry, i tried out your pepper stout beef recipe and it was awesome!
This is scary... I literally just bought three cans of these and ate the last one in pasta for dinner today. Is the Wolfe Pit stalking me?
Google is looking at you...
Are they supposed to be green like that? I love oysters, but I can't recall ever seeing one that's green. Is it the canning process or something, 'cause I've never had canned oysters. Just something about the green though would really make me question it.
I enjoy the fact knowing that someone is out there for US...The People! I enjoyed your video!
This might be the case that produce is fished in US, then sent for processing to china (which is surprisingly cheaper than doing it on local soil) then shipped back, packed.
Obviously not with these since they are farm raised. But in case with ocean-caught fish - that's a solid case.
Smoke Fumus just about everything is made from china xD. Even flags are made in china.
Well, again. It's just plain business. It's cheaper to make it there, including shipment costs. When much more smarter automation comes around tho - game will be changed dramatically. Since cost of electricity and repairs should be cheaper than Chinese (and much more cheaper than american) labor in general. Then you could see "made in USA" labels popping up in much larger quantities.
Smoke Fumus that's actually true, Iceland is known for fishing cod and its cheaper to send the damn fish all the way to china to be gutted/filleted and sent back.
I saw a video and they do the fish on the boat. They cut them up and put them in boxes and freeze them right away. And they even make tuna cans like that.
More like sent to China, sold there at a premium and Chinese produce gets packaged and shipped back.
That green stomach content stuff makes this a candidate for Bizarre Foods. That's exactly the kind of stuff you see on that show...
yeah tried these for the first time after watching this video. It's definitely an acquired taste tbh. I ended up turning them into a spread and drowning it in hot sauce, which turned out pretty decent.
I really love the effort you been putting into these videos lately
man, I used to love these things but having grown up in Eastern North Carolina, I cannot seem to stomach these things anymore. Thank you for your videos and your voice. It's nice to hear here in Germany.
Thanks for your channel!
I really love your videos. It's horrible to see what kind of stuff people put in our food.
I'm Greek and I used to live in Japan, where freshness was the most important thing. The food was so healthy and felt so good. Since I'm in Germany, I always feel like I'm eating very unhealthy. I really don't know every chemical in our food. I'd love to have a list where I can see what every chemical means, and if its okay.
I think the biggest issue is that healthy food is really expensive.
I want to buy some bread, and I get confronted with a long list of chemicals. I have a hard time choosing the right stuff, especially when I have my kids in the future. Sometimes it kinda scares me.
I mean I also eat frozen pizzas from time to time, but everytime I finish that I feel soooo guilty.
Food standards are so different from country to country.
My parents raised me to always cook fresh food. Sad to see that so many products can cause cancer..how can you sleep at night knowing that you're selling crap?
What also really disappoints me is that living creatures die for being sold with disgusting chemicals for a dollar.
My family would always flush our clams and oysters and muscles, in water with corn meal for 24 hours before cooking them ,changing out the water and adding corn meal every few hours, it flushed the sand and other contents out and filled them with the meal. Maybe thats what happened with the last can you tried, tbey where flushed so they where grey inside.
"They have a metallic or almost chemical flavor" .... [Continues eating the rest of them]
I doubt you can taste mercury or lead. PBC in high dozes may be. PCB instead of olive oil to increase the shelf life.
@@maestrovso Ewwww
Thank you for sharing Sir. I absolutely love oysters it doesnt matter how they are prepared. I eat canned oysters all the time. This is great information. I look forward to your next video. Thanks again.
If you're going to preserve the seafood, it makes more sense to buy it overseas and use your own production for fresh applications. These are smoked, sold in oil, so on. So yeah, it just make logistic sense to preserve as much of your own fresh batches for fresh use. IIRC most Asian countries buy *American* and other smoked oysters for the same reason. At least, that's what I've been told by some friends I have in Japan and Hong Kong. It makes sense.
What is this? A wolfepit video with a reference I understood? Whoa
I only eat American but these oyster are delicious on a hot fudge Sunday and french fries. We call it Kentucky highway dreams here in Ohio. Sounds like crap but we truckers crave the most exotic foods at times. Same old fast food gets boring and need to up it up!
I'm racist and find this Chinese!
Lol
cottonseed oil and/or sunflower oil is listed this way as both are used in the process of canning this tasty product but you just may not get one oil or the may only get the other at 100% instead of both in mixture as you probably have already surmissed...
“How did you get cancer?”
“Sunny Sea Canned Oysters….”
The brand Geisha Girl is the best....from Japan. We love that stuff here in Guam 🌴🌺🌴
Irene Meno Is anyone in Guam taking any precautions over the NK threats?
Nope because NK isn't threatening. Just using their tests as an excuse to give them some freedom as per usual. Warmongering West at it again.
Gareth Lawton I wouldn't really see the NK thing as total warmongering, more like threats.
But in a way I guess. I don't think Trump is really trying to start a war though.
Gareth Lawton I didn't ask you.
Gareth Lawton - They are a Stalking Horse for the NWO. Zero to do with a Free People. The Insiders want Radical Depopulation Agenda Goals and then a Police State. A World War will do it. If Hillary had won and Brexit didn't happen they could stay with an Administrative Takeover and Mandatory Sterility causing Vaccines. Smell the Coffee Dawg...
something i feel that you should try if you havent already is chef boyardee beefaroni or campbells spaghettieos
...you forgot the Ravioli...Racist! lol
I love oysters! My favorite brand is Ekone, but they are spendy.
Is cottonseed oil something good to eat? I think I prefer the sunflower oil.
If you want world class smoked oyster,check out those produced in the Pacific Northwest,Oregon especially.A really good pizza shop will have em available.add the to a combo,incredible.
my god id rather die than taste something that putrid
Oysters are gross canned or fresh just let me starve,than to lose a leg/die X_X
it looks horrid, taste is okay though
We have oysters from South Korea at my grocery store, and the difference in quality is crazy, no chemical taste and in pure olive oil.
A UK brand comes from North Korea. Giving those ones a miss :D
S Korea are our allies. I never see there food on the store shelves though.
I try to find out where everything we eat comes from; not where it is packed but where it is grown !!!
Notice how walmart just say Bentonville on their great value products? Not where they are really from...
I've seen them from South Korea at Trader Joe's. I can't remember the brand, but it was a well known canned fish marque. They were over $3 a can. When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s all the smoked oysters were Korean.
One of my drinking buddies used to eat a can of these every other night or so. It'd always make my stomach turn smelling them and watching him eat them.
Try red Baron frozen pizza, they are ok in my opinion.
Now you are left with alot of uncanned oysters.
Fresh grilled oysters with butter and hot sauce... so much better...
NeedsMoreBoosters I
Am I the only one who thinks his voice is soothing? Like your all american middle aged neighbor who you invite to your backyard BBQ and wish was your husband so you can have some rendezvous with cause you wanna hear that voice calling you a "naughty girl."
That escalated quickly. And I'm not ashamed.
I love ❤️ smoked oysters 🦪. I would like to learn how to make the oil smoked flavor in the can with the oysters 🦪
I love the Geisha(walmart) brand
I did a comparison like this for myself a few months ago. My local store brand was the cheapest and best by far, and they turned out to be from Korea, not China like all the others. Kroger brand in case anyone was wondering.
Daniel Garza sweet! Thanks for sharing.
Chinese smoked oysters should be avoided. Period. I love smoked oysters. When i really want them i make my own. I buy a bushell of mid atlantic oysters and smoke them myself its easy. You cant totally get rid of the green but if you have a large salt water aquarium. You can place your oysters in there and add corn meal to the water about a teaspoon for 4 days no longer. They will eat it expell the whatevers they ate before and will apear less green. Shuck them and lightly rinse them to get rid of any shell and place in a stainless steel container add olive oil. Use real charlcoal not brickettes. Put in smoker. After that its up to you how long you want them to cook. I get big oysters and like to reduce them to one third. For me thats the best. Its not about cook time its about cook reduction. Give it a try. Maybe do a vid on it
Dollar Tree in my area sells Pampa brand smoked oysters in sunflower oil with carrots , onions and red peppers. Although there are only 6 or 7 oysters in a can I must say I found them very appealing and tasty . They make a great snack at 2am lol . Would make a good video taste test.
I LOVE Smoked Oysters!
Thanks for Going Out On a Limb ( 6:15-6:34 😁 ), and Showing the Greatest Value.👍...
You need St. Jean's canned seafood from British Columbia Canada. Would blow your mind
CaM s just ordered a case. Very fresh
actually, no you don't, you need to buy FRESH seafood - tinned seafood is toxic because of the lining most cans.
David Trainer stop bein a WUUUUUUUUUUUSS
I love canned smoked oysters, but they're like $3/can out here in Cali. My favorites are the Napolean "large". Crown Prince are pretty good too, and they from South Korea.
synche try Aldis they're 1.19
If they are $1.19 a can they are probably from china. The reason you pay the extra 2 dollars is not to be poisoned. I think California has a ban on Oysters from China. If so, California did at least one thing right.
You should get some of those Rocky Mountain oysters
I know one thing about canned oysters. If you just crack a can open (don't pull off the lid) and pour off the liquid and let them spoil a little, you can tape the can inside the heating vent in a car during winter. When the car isn't being used, the oysters are frozen and don't smell but when the heater gets run for a few minutes, they thaw and fill the vehicle with the smell of rotten oyster. Turn off the car, the can freezes again and the smell goes away.
I'm a veteran of a really stupid prank war.
how can one find out where the tin is from/made/ tinned? I dont see China indicated anywhere on the label even after pausing it .. ?
