Salty. Sweet. Velvet on the lips. Just like a first kiss.
    Oysters have earned their romantic reputation.
    So steeped in lore and history are these elegant shellfish that Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, was said to have risen from the sea on an oyster shell.
    Much sought after and consumed for centuries, they brought their weight in gold from Roman emperors while legendary lover Casanova is reputed to have started every meal by consuming dozens of oysters for their stimulative properties.
