I've had good oysters in numerous locations, but by far the best I've ever had were at the Yaquina Bay oyster farm in Newport Oregon (ONP). I had had their oysters numerous times before, but this was the first time I had them freshly shucked right at the farm. They were outstanding, and being able to eat them on the dock with the salt air really added to the experience. So I would emphasize fresh fresh fresh, regardless of type or location.
