You are not supposed to eat uncooked shellfish when you are pregnant. However, I leave that up to you.

Cameron's Seafood has several locations including Silver Spring. They sell oysters by the pound to go.

Maine Avenue Seafood Wharf. Walk up, buy, eat.

Are raw oysters safe when you're pregnant?

I would definitely eat any seafood promptly.

Not to be gross, but did you throw up the last time you ate oysters? If they were part of a brunch where you did throw up, they might have been the culprit.

No, I only threw up the other foods... Anything I tried to eat (including dessert - donuts, cupcakes, ...) I had to run to the bathroom. Finally I ate the oysters and nothing happened. I just kept asking my husband to go get me some more, because even though I was throwing up, I was so hungry!

Anyway, he just got me 20 at WF and I will eat it soon

Thanks!!

Seamless also does delivery from restaurants - but it would be best from a food safety perspective to pick them up yourself and eat them right away. Would you get takeout sushi delivered by someone other than a sushi restaurant? I'd want to know my raw seafood was kept chilled.

You can do takeout from Hank's. Or the Southwest fish market.

Black salt does take out oysters
For the person asking about restaurant delivery, did you mean grub hub? We used recently for delivery from Los cuatos and it was great / easy.

You can get them shucked from WF but they say they should be consumed with in an hour.

Sure, they keep just fine for a few days. Pretty much every restaurant should be open for brunch tomorrow, it's not a retail holiday.

I think there is an independent service that will do delivery from different restaurants. Does anyone know what it is called?

Fish markets can do it. The one in downtown Bethesda (A& H) prepares a reasonably priced platter.

I have this intense (to put it mildly) desire to eat oysters. Last time I ate was during a brunch a couple of weeks ago at Sequoia in DC. It was open buffet and it was wonderful! It was the only thing really that stayed in my stomach, everything else I threw up (pregnant).

I would like to eat it again tonight or tomorrow, but would rather stay at home.

On a side note, do restaurants even open for brunch tomorrow?

Tia!
